Here's the WNBC transcript of the interview, which will air on Sunday:
PRESSMAN: Would a Clinton-Obama ticket be very strong?
Rep. RANGEL: Wow. Well, I'm saying that.
PRESSMAN: You said wow.
Rep. RANGEL: Because I would find it very exciting. But I think that the
Republican bench is so weak that we could get by with more this time than if it was a very close election.
PRESSMAN: Would you lobby Obama to take the number two spot?
Rep. RANGEL: I don't do that. And besides, you know, as I do, that people running for president, they never say they're interested in the number two spot. I mean, they have to let you know that they're running for president and that's all they will consider.
PRESSMAN: Yeah, but all you're doing is sucking your thumb and sort of
thinking about the future. You're not he.
