There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Obama won't accept VP

This is probably not much of a surprise, because candidates rarely announce any intentions for the Vice Presidency for fear of undermining their Presidential campaign. In many ways, Obama would be a poor choice for VP for any candidate, because he would overshadow the President, given the enormous hype surrounding him.
