Default Clinton Asks For VP Spot, Obama Says No

I picked this up but can't find another source. Has anyone else read about this somewhere else?

In fairness to Hillary, I seriously doubt that this is true. She believes that he can't win against McCain, and she believes that she can still convince enough SDs of that fact. The Obama/Clinton ticket is a figment of the media's imagination.

Yes, I am sceptical of this story too, the only thing that tweeked my interest was that I also felt there was a change in Hillary's attitude towards Obama from just a few days ago. It seemed that she was just going to play out the game without attacking him. Ok, she has not gone back on the personal attacks but she sure is upping the ante on Florida, Michigan, popular vote, swing states and what electoral base she brings to the party.

If I were Obama I wouldn't trust Hillary as my veep either. Too many bodies in the Clinton past to let one of them be my heartbeat away from the Presidency...

I would think about it being true if it came from a major news organization because something like that they aren't going to make a mistake about it.

August makes a good point. Clinton is liable to stab Obama in the back; a regular "Brutus".

If Obama gets elected, I wouldn't be surprised if she just shows up on the White house steps with her suitcase saying: "I'm the Vice President now and don't get in my way."

And Bill would be there, niki.
I don't have much bad to say about Bill, except for his record on this contest, stumping for Hillary.
The Clintons, like 'em or not, are a political team - you never get just one of them.

Imagine that - One President, one former President, and one who's convinced she should be President.
Too much.

Hillary will never take a back seat.

Looks like Hillary just lost any chance of her getting a shot (wrong term!) for president, let alone VP
