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

The tension grew. Reporters shifted in their seats. Was she dropping out of the race?

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.


"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."
