Obama comes out swinging

After a weekend of talk of a potential "dream" ticket, Barak Obama came out swinging on Monday, accusing the Clinton campaign of leaking the now infamous Somalia photo, and mocking the notion that he'd consider the  Veep slot. He also raised the serious question: How can Clinton consider him a credible Veep on the one hand, but then reject his readiness as commander in chief on the other hand. Clinton flack Howard Wolfson came up with this Clinton-esque beaut in response: "Senator Clinton will not choose any candidate who has not, at the time of the choosing, passed the national security threshold, period.  But we have a long way to go between now and Denver, and it's not something that she is prepared to rule out at this point. But certainly anyone who is chosen as a vice presidential candidate needs to be prepared to be commander-in-chief."  

First things first, however. Mississippi votes today, and Obama is likely to score an impressive victory. After that, it's six loooonngggg weeks until Pennsylvania, and who knows what twists and turns lay ahead.
