WASHINGTON, June 16 (UPI) -- Former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., has emerged as a real possibility as a running mate for likely Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama, sources say.
Obama, D-Ill., has been good friends with Nunn since he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2005 and they share a passion for seeking an end to nuclear arms proliferation, The Boston Globe reported Monday, adding that interviews with current and former government officials who know them say a pairing of the two is a real possibility.
