Obama and Clinton to settle presidential candidacy with paper-scissors-rock

Democratic presidential hopefuls Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Senator Barack Obama have decided to fight it out with a best of five game of paper-scissors-rock.

The move came about when the two candidates met on the campaign trail after the New Hampshire primary went to Senator Clinton. In the conversation, they agreed that they were the two main candidates and since they were at one win a piece, the rest of the contest would be too close to call.

"I turned to Hillary and I said, 'Hillary, let's give all the money we are using on the campaign for good." said Senator Obama. "Help feed the homeless, inject it into public hospitals or maybe even finally give some money to the people of New Orleans to start rebuilding two years after Hurricane Katrina.' Hillary looked at me and said, 'Hell yeah', which for Hillary is pretty freaking weird on many levels."

That night both camps disbanded their campaign teams and distributed their campaign war chests to a number of unspecified charities.

"We figure the amount of money we spend on campaigns is more than any of these charities receive during the course of the year from the US government."said Senator Clinton. "In this way, we are able to contribute to our country in a way we probably won't be able to do when one of us is elected."

The live broadcast of the best of five paper-scissors-rock will be broadcast live on CBS, straight after Two and a Half Men.
