The Washington Post covered that while Clinton campaigned this morning, Obama toured the locker rooms, players' lounge and football stadium at the University of Texas, posing for pictures with Texas head football coach Mack Brown -- who has not endorsed Obama and says he never votes in primaries -- and hoisting a Heisman Trophy.
When the Associated Press's pool reporter, Nedra Pickler, shouted out a question about Sen. John McCain's relationship with a lobbyist, she was scolded by the coach.
"Do you know it's inappropriate while we have his time to ask him these
inappropriate questions?" Brown asked.
Obama grinned. "Coach solved that one, didn't he? Shame on you Nedra."
I thought this article was particularly interesting because it's smart of Obama to go after the coach of a football team that probably has a lot of impact on people.
The poor journalist sure got slapped on the wrist by both of them! Maybe after all of this Obama might make a believer out of Mack Brown. Brown says he has never voted in a primary, but there could be a first time for everything.
