WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 17 (UPI) -- Two possible running mates for Sen. Barack Obama's bid to be U.S. president deflected speculation about joining the Democratic ticket.
Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., both from key states targeted by Obama's campaign, stumped with the likely Democratic presidential nominee in Bayh's home state, dancing around questions of a possible offer of a vice presidency during a news conference, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday.
