During the friendly and amicable taping of the Late Show with David Letterman, BarackObama and his host joked about topic ranging from the freshman Senator kicking his smoking habit to getting a dog for his daughter if he were to win the election, but the most revealing conversation came towards the end of the interview.
When asked if the Senator's bid for the Democratic nomination in 2008 was really just a way to secure his spot on the ticket as the Vice Presidential candidate, Obama said, "No, you don't run for second. I don't believe in that."
When Letterman asked about a possible ticket with fellow Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Obama replied, "which order are we talking about?"
I realize that two posts for one small interview is odd, but I thought that this was a good example of how well Obama can appear strong and sure of his stance as the opponent of the other candidates, but also side-step accusations while keeping the atmosphere light and humorous.
