The Nightmare Ticket Is Dead (votes, campaign, vice president, Clinton)

[eliptik]

The Field can now confirm, based on multiple sources, something that both campaigns publicly deny: that Senator Clinton has directly told Senator Obama that she wants to be his vice presidential nominee, and that Senator Obama politely but straightforwardly and irrevocably said “no.” Obama is going to pick his own running mate based on his own criteria and vetting process.

I think it can still happen.

Er, sorta. He's letting the guy who picked both Kerry's and Mondale's running mates do it.

Yet another incredibly daft maneuver from a certifiable genius.

This is good, but don't be surprised if Hillbilly and her thugs try and force their way onto the ballot. This is why she's remaining in the race and putting up a fight for MI and FL when she earlier agreed with the decision by the DNC to punish those states.
