Clinton’s bowling solution was incredibly creative. And an April Fool’s joke.
(CNN) — Hillary Clinton challenged Barack Obama to a primary season bowl-off Tuesday, with the winner to top the party’s ticket this fall. “And when this game is over the American people will know they’ll have a president who’s ready to bowl on day one. We don’t have a moment to spare because it’s already April Fools Day,” she told reporters at a Pennsylvania press conference. The New York senator that added it was time for the Obama campaign “to get out of the gutter. For all the pins to be counted…” and said she would spot him two frames. Clinton may have been joking – but in a winner-take-all bowl-off, she might have the edge. This Saturday in Altoona, Pennsylvania Obama came in a distant third in a three-way bowling game, finishing with an underwhelming score of 37 over seven frames. “I was terrible,” the Illinois senator told the crowd at the bowling alley, according to the Associated Press. "My economic plan is better than my bowling.” Responded one unimpressed bystander: "It has to be." –CNN Associate Political Editor Rebecca Sinderbrand Watch Obama struggle at the lanes Watch Clinton issue her bowl-off challenge Filed under: Hillary Clinton |
