Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton walked somberly into a press conference Tuesday and stood before microphones. Reporters tensed, sensing something big might be afoot.

"This has been a very hard fought race," she said. "We clearly need to do something so that our party and our people can make the right decision. So, I have a proposal."

The tension grew. Reporters shifted in their seats. Was she dropping out of the race? Offering to join rival Barack Obama as his running mate?

April Fools!

"Today, I am challenging Senator Obama to a bowl-off," Clinton said, provoking relieved laughs from the assembled scribes.

Clinton carried on, making reference to Obama's disastrous outing at a Pennsylvania bowling alley Saturday.

"A bowling night. Right here in Pennsylvania. The winner take all," she went on. "I'll even spot him two frames."

"It is time for his campaign to get out of the gutter and allow all the pins to be counted. I'm prepared to play this game all the way to the tenth frame. When this game is over, the American people will know that when that phone rings at 3 a.m., they'll have a president ready to bowl on day one."

"Let's strike a deal and go bowling for delegates. We don't have a moment to spare, because it's already April Fool's Day. Happy April Fool's Day."

I would actually like to see that , I know Obama would have his butt handed to him .

Come on people who bowls a 37 in the lane on all 10 frames .

Even my kid sister who is 8 ran up the score to 70 on her first day .

Thats surely not what you want to do in Altoona , PA on a Saturday , lol.

However we shall give him a pass if he takes up Clinton's challenge .

If not for the sake of party unity , at least to reedeem himself.

Come on Barack you can't bowl a 37 on the lane on all 10 frames and walk away .

Anyone else care to share bowling experiences.
