Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Hillary Clinton will take a vacation from the campaign trail next week, her chairman Terry McAuliffe told CNN Saturday. McAuliffe, however, wouldn't disclose the location. "Next week, she and the family need to take a little time off. We all need to take a little break. Get ourselves energized and come back out campaigning. But I'm not giving away Hillary Clinton's vacation plans," McAuliffe told CNN's Wolf Blitzer and John King. He joked: "The press just asked me where we're going, and I said 'Disneyland, where else?' I want to go to the Magic Kingdom with Hillary."
In an interview with CNN's John King following Clinton's endorsement speech of Obama, McAuliffe addressed a possible Obama-Clinton ticket as well as the secret meeting that occurred between the two Senators Thursday night. "I think Hillary would be a spectacular addition to the ticket. I think a lot of us do, but it's up to Senator Obama," he said. "No matter what her role is, she will be as active as she's ever been to help the Democrats win." Asked whether the private meeting addressed the party ticket or Clinton's looming campaign debt, McAuliffe said, "I don't think it got into any of the specifics. I think it was a good get together for them to talk. We haven't talked about any specific issues. You know, we'll take care of the debt. I've been helping the Clintons with debt for a long time."
