Hillary Clinton Was Never Vetted



We are almost loathe to bring this up considering Hillary partisans and "unpersuadables" are already on their way to Denver to cause a fuss at the Convention. God, The Corsair wishes they could just get over it like we got over the fact that Bill Richardson didn't win and get on board the Obama bus and display some fucking political maturity. Politico is reporting that Senator Clinton was never in the running to be Obama's running mate:

"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. 'he 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?'"


We can almost feel the protests coalescing. More here.
