Senator Nelson: Don’t Rule Hillary Out
June 16th, 2008 by flanewsUS Senator Bill Nelson says Barrack Obama should pick Senator Hillary Clinton as his running-mate. Senator Nelson spoke to reporters at his Tallahassee office Monday. Nelson was a Clinton supporter. Now he’s backing Barack but says if Barack is down in the national polls he should pick Hillary for V. P. to increases his chances. Nelson said the country will know very soon whether or not Hillary will be on the ticket.
“You’ll know in about the next two and a half weeks, because if Obama bumps us, I think it’s less likely, in the national polls if he bumps up, its less likely that he picks Clinton. If he rises slightly or stays the same there’s a greater likely hood that he’ll pick Clinton,” said Nelson.
Nelson also said Obama would need Clinton in order to carry Florida. Recent polls show Obama losing to McCain.
