London, June 6 : Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama has appeared publicly with three prominent vice-presidential contenders, resisting a defiant move by New York Senator Hillary Clinton to name her as his Vice President.
Commenting on his running mate to NBC News, Obama said: “We’re not going to be rushed into it. I don’t think Senator Clinton expects a quick decision and I don’t even know that she’s necessarily interested in it.”
Obama held events in Virginia alongside Senator Jim Webb, a Vietnam hero and former Republican, the loyal Governor Tim Kaine, one of the earliest top politicians to declare support for the Illinois senator, and Mark Warner, a former Virginia Governor with potent electoral appeal in conservative rural areas.
