In another sign that Hillary's Veep chances are dwindling rapidly, http://voteboth.com/">Vote Both, the group devoted to pushing Hillary as Veep, is http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2008/07/obamaclinton_ticket_group_shut.php">now officially out of business.

"Because it seems that Senator Obama has made his decision to offer the slot on the ticket to another candidate, we believe that continuing to ask him to pick Hillary is no longer helpful to our party's chances of winning in November," Adam Parkhomenko and Sam Arora wrote in an e-mail they planned to send Thursday to the 40,000-plus supporters who signed onto their online petition.

It's unclear how they know that Obama has already made his decision not to pick her. But it isn't an assertion that many would argue with at this point, especially since Hillary is set to speak on the second night of the convention, historically not the slot reserved for the Veep.

2. BTW, this is not a PUMA thing.

Real PUMAs probably wouldn't like this news because they don't want her to settle for VP anyway.
