Hillary gets stiffed (by The BarackStar!)

[Wretched Excess]

this is NOT going to make the hillaryites happy. they didn't even go through the motions.  treating the
preferred candidate of 18 million dem voters this dismissively will not help to win them over.

*but I also posted this thread because I just couldn't pass up the headline.

Hillary gets stiffed

There’s one Democrat who would seem to have little or no chance of being picked by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to be his running mate – his former opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).

But it’s not for the reason you think.

Obama has often said, most recently on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on July 27, that Clinton “would be on anybody’s short list.”

But apparently not his.

“She was never vetted,” a Democratic official reported. “She was not asked for a single piece of paper. She and Senator Obama have never had a single conversation about it. How would he know if she’d take it?”

The official also said Clinton never met with Obama’s vetting team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy.

I still think Hillary was dumb for not declaring as Independent and taking obama down once and for all. Somebody mentioned Caroline Kennedy as a VP pick. How would that float your boat?

I don't imagine that there's been anything stiff within a 1000 yards of hillary in the last 20 years.

I remember seeing that, too, and thinking that it was retarded even for the dems.  why would you compliment a ticket that is bereft of experience with an even more inexperienced candidate?

I think they rate charisma over experience!

Hillary couldn't run as an Independant without commiting political suicide.  IF she ran, she'd split the democratic vote and give an automatic win to the Republicans.

who she would be free to run against in 2012.  when the clintons are involved, maximum cynicism is in order.

So Barack Hussein Obama never had any intention of even vetting Hillary and he was just pretending to be thinking about her in a lame attempt to placate her 18,000,000+ supporters? Sounds about right to me.

Caroline Kennedy has been one of his top aides on this search phase, and she wasn't qualified to do that, either. Whoever Barack Hussein Obama picks isn't going to matter much at this point, he's trying to build suspense. I'm on pins and needles over this, I think it'll be the hair plug man, Joe Biden.

Now I really wonder what happened at DiFi's house a few months back - and now she herself claims she can't attend the DNC because of a broken ankle? Umm....crutches?
