5. That's good, if true.
It's a strong indication that it won't be her.

He wouldn't have done something so obvious.

17. Would be good if true
Because it would indicate that they're working in concert. That's key.

21. I have to think that they are cooperating...
Had she been far more supportive right now, as others suggest she should be, the VP speculation would become unbearable.

I think they're on the same page.

Bill, on the other hand, I'm less sure of.

6. A dream come true... if it's Hillary as VP, we're gonna sweep the country in November.
What better way for Obama to unite the country than to unite the party first?

9. That's nice. She was never even vetted...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/29/hillary-clinton-obamas-vi_n_115435.html

"AUG 21 -- Hillary Clinton Was Never Vetted: According to the Politico, Hillary Clinton can't be Obama's VP -- because she was never screened for the job.

"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?" ...


"This would be the biggest leap of faith ever," the official said. "She's waiting for the text message like everyone else." "

11. She doesn't really need to be.
The only problem may be in Bill's dealings, not her's.

14. Well, according to another source...
An Obama aide said "absolutely exhaustive research was done on her over the course of the 16 month primary. She was researched more closely than any candidate in history."

19. Uh.... the link you gave is exactly what I said - she was never vetted....
"
“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.

And the official said she was never asked for medical records or for any financial 2008 information about her or former President Bill Clinton. The last information the couple has disclosed about taxes and financial holdings was for 2007."

20. That has "an official" vs the comments of the O person contradicting each other.

27. I was showing there are conflicting reports about that...
At this point I'm not trusting anything, Huffpo, Politico, CNN or anyone else, when it comes to the VP pick.

28. She's been vetted every day since she was first lady of Arkansas.
"She's waiting for the text message like everyone else" is bullshit. She may not be the VP, but she is in the loop.

12. Kerry met with Edwards at about the same time just before he was revealed as VP in 2004.

18. Yawp. She does an annual meeting at the fair. I think that may have been the breakfast
Edited on Fri Aug-22-08 02:59 PM by wlucinda
And she's not scheduled anything for tomorrow that i can find.
Sunday, I think, is supposed to be a farm workers union appearance.
