Mississippi is Barack Obama country, with polls showing the Illinois senator leading by anywhere from six to 24 points, but both Obama and Hillary Clinton are putting on a full court press there.

Clinton has made two stops in recent days and Bill Clinton stopped at four spots on Saturday. Chelsea Clinton is campaigning on Sunday and Monday in the state. Obama also is campaigning in the state, in Columbus and Jackson on Monday, one day before the state's primary. Mississippi offers 40 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in August.

While Clinton has acknowledged the Illinois senator's strength in the Magnolia State, the Clinton campaign appears to be floating the idea of a Clinton-Obama "dream" ticket.

Bill Clinton made note of the scenario during a stop in Mississippi on Saturday, in which he claimed he hasn't discussed the option with his wife, though she too has suggested it on the campaign trail.

"I know that she has always been open to it, because she believes that if you can unite the energy and the new people that he's brought in and the people in these vast swaths of small town and rural America that she's carried overwhelmingly, if you had those two things together she thinks it'd be hard to beat," he said Saturday.

But former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, an Obama supporter, told Britain's Sunday Times that the Clintons will say anything to get elected.

"The bigger the lie, the better the chance they think they’ve got. That’s been their whole approach," Bradley told the newspaper. "She’s going to lose a whole generation of people who got involved in politics believing it could be something different."

He added that Clinton will help presumptive Republican nominee John McCain if it means hurting Obama.

"The Clintons do not do long-term planning. They’re total tacticians and right now their focus is on Obama, not McCain."

Asked if Obama is good enough to be vice president, then why isn't he qualified to be commander in chief, Clinton supporter and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said that it's about Obama's relative experience to Clinton's.

"I think he's qualified, I don't think he's as good a potential commander in chief," Rendell told Sunday's "Meet the Press." "I think he's ready, he's not nearly as ready as Hillary Clinton is, there's no question about that. ... Hillary Clinton is the best prepared candidate I've ever talked to, far better than Bill Clinton was in 1992."

Obama supporter and former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle countered that Obama, who has more delegates and a larger share of the popular vote, would consider Clinton as his vice presidential candidate.

"It's rare, perhaps the first time in history, that the person running number two would offer the person running number one the Number two position," Daschle said of Rendell's suggestion.

Meanwhile, in Mississippi, more than half the Democratic voters are African Americans and some say Hillary Clinton lost their support because of comments Bill Clinton made in South Carolina suggesting Obama could only do well in states with large black populations.Others have complained that Clinton has been dismissive of Mississippi, especially in October when she pointed out that Iowa and Mississippi are the only states that have yet to elect a female governor or member of Congress. At the time, she asked how Iowa could be ranked with Mississippi, an apparent insult that offended several in Mississippi, including former Gov. Ray Mabus.

But Obama isn't denying that a state with a 38 percent black population is a help. At an NAACP convention in the state capital of Jackson, delegates told FOX News this is the first chance they've had to vote for a black presidential candidate who has a realistic chance of being elected.
