Obama: Role for Gore offered

Barack Obama said there could be a key slot in his administration for Al Gore when asked if he would ask him to run as his vice president.

Obama
though joked, "I will also be honest with you: having won the Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar, being vice president again would probably be a step down for him."

Fielding another question about whether he would expect "swift boat" like attacks should he become the nominee, Obama replied:

"I have no doubt there will be some of that — trying to make me into this foreign, odd, clearly black person and to scare people,. When people try to Swift Boat you, you have to respond forcefully, you have to respond immediately and you have to respond truthfully. ... We are prepared for whatever they will throw at us."
