Are Colorado's U.S. senators interested in being vice president?

Don't expect Colorado's U.S. senators to be a presidential runningmate. In a survey of the U.S. Senate's membership not already running for president on whether they'd accept an offer to be vice president, The Hill newspaper found a variety of responses to the veepstakes question. Some were accompanied by laughs, others took the question seriously.

So, how did Democrat Ken Salazar and Republican Wayne Allard respond?

Says Salazar: "Of course. Everybody in here would do it if asked. But it's a very speculative question and I don't expect it'll happen in my case."

Says Allard: "You got your answer - a laugh. The president's going to make that choice. You can see how much I've thought about it."
