Obama, Clinton Declare a Truce

WASHINGTON — The truce declared last night between senators Clinton and Obama over a racial flare-up in the presidential campaign signals that neither candidate wants to eliminate the other as a possible pick for the second spot on the Democratic ticket.

Mrs. Clinton issued a statement last night calling for leading Democratic hopefuls to "seek common ground," hours after Mr. Obama praised President Clinton and his wife for their records on civil rights.

party and the US - either could win the presidency with anyone as VP - but it would be nice to see them on the same ticket.
