Clinton's Got Jokes

Clinton injected a little bit of humor into the race on April Fools Day. No, she didn't pretend to concede the race; no one would believe that for a moment. Instead, Clinton challenged Obama to a winner-take-all bowling match (managing to slide a couple talking points in to the joke as well):

I want to take a moment to say that this has been a very hard fought race. Each of us is drawing enormous support we clearly need to do something so our party and people can make the right decision. So I have a proposal today. I am challenging senator Obama to a bowl-off. A bowling night. Right here in Pennsylvania. Winner-take-all. I'll even spot him two frames. It's time for his campaign to get out of the gutter and allow all of the pins to be counted. I am prepared to play this game all the way until the 10th frame. When this game is over, the American people will know when that phone rings at 3am they will have a president who is ready to bowl on day one. So lets strike a deal and go bowling for delegates. We don’t have a moment to spare because it's already April Fools Day – so Happy April Fools Day.
