Obama, Palin in Archie comics

NEW YORK: Is it possible for US president Barack Obama and his Republican "tormentor" Sarah Palin to team up and even share a milkshake? Yes, but in a comic book.
Obama and the charismatic former Alaska governor , eyeing the 2012 presidential polls, will be joining forces to impact a high-school election in "Archie" this December, the New York Post reported on Thursday.
The polarising pair are dragged into a heated campaign battle between eternal teenager Archie Andrews and arch-nemesis Reggie, who are both running for class president of Riverdale High.
"Things aren't going so well for Archie," said the comic line's editor-inchief Victor Gorelick, so his campaign manager Veronica Lodge pulls some strings and arranges for Archie to meet Obama.
She snaps a picture of the two of them together, making it look like Obama's endorsing the redhead . Reggie retaliates by getting Palin on his side.
The "two part political epic" has been dubbed "Campaign Pains" and is scheduled for release in December 2010 and January 2011.
It has not yet been proven that milkshake sharing is an effective form of bipartisanship.
