It doesn't seem to have come out in this thread, but I heard that what precipitated Hillary's challenge (in addition to it being April Fool's Day) was that Obama, in a pick-up game in Philadelphia over the weekend, established himself as "King of the Gutter-Ball," scoring a whopping 37 (out of a possible 300), and wound up getting bowling tips from a ten-year-old girl.

If he does make it to the White House, I doubt that we really need worry too much about his getting a phone call at three o'clock in the morning challenging him to go bowling.
