Clinton not seeking vice presidency, campaign says
Jun 5, 2008, 20:45 GMT
Washington - Hillary Clinton has no plans to be Barack Obama's vice president on a Democratic ticket for the White House, her campaign said Thursday.
Phil Singer, a Clinton spokesman, said the former first lady was 'not seeking the vice presidency,' in a statement carried by CNN.
Clinton had previously said she was 'open' to the idea and some of her supporters have launched a concerted effort to pressure Obama into putting her on a so-called 'dream ticket.'
Singer said the decision was Obama's to make, echoing comments by the newly-anointed Democratic nominee himself.
'I'm a big believer in making decisions well, not making them fast and not responding to pressure,' Obama said in an interview with CNN.
Obama clinched the Democratic Party's nomination on Tuesday, becoming the first African American to lead a major US political party into the November general election.
Clinton is expected to formally suspend her campaign and endorse Obama at an event in Washington on Saturday.

Here is SP4 throwing mud as usual,the typical way of conducting politics that hopefully wil one day disappear from US politics .Democracy needs better than this to perform properly....
' .Democracy needs better than this to perform properly....'
How would you know? Your government is a total mess.
...it was ABC, the biggest softball throwing dem libnazi network that, publicly, stated this...
...on top of..
The Wall Street Journal
The New York Times
who already said it
Democracy works best when candidates are vetted. Hillary and Bill just forgot that they live in a new age of communication, and it did them in.
In the old media, they could get the litany gagged:
White Water
FBI records scandal
Pardon of Puerto Rican Terrorists
Influence selling to chinese, russians and columbians
Mr. Hsu
Mr. Penn
Mr. Berg(l)ar
Mr. Foster
Mr. Ickes
but not in todays world. When old Billy or Hirrary lied, it was all over the news!
Like Global warming, you believe what you wish to believe, as part of the catacysm of your church, the Church-of-the-dvine-libnazi.
But the dem party cut them loose. They tired of their activities and flushed them. Thats what you do when you have a movement..flush the waste!
Tonny, go inform yourself
More double-talk, hidden messages, and maneuvering from the Hillary camp!
Can Hillary say what she means and mean what she says?
I bet she is good at the board-game Risk!
Hillary, the Queen of Spin and a Legend in Her Own Mind!

Well, hell! I was being sarcastic about us having a McClainton Ticket, but this makes me wonder. Certainly, The Clintons, have grounds to complain that they have been 'betrayed' by their party and are therefore free to go their own way. Why not go with John McCain? After all, the country must be defended and Senator McCain is greatly enamored of liberal domestic policies.
Depending on your point of view, this could be match made in Heaven or Hell.
from the pack of republican running dogs. Thank the gods that most americans aren't as stupid as these idiot posters.

...Obama said no. Word is, that the Obama people didn't want the Clinton Foundations doners to become public and set off another scandal.
You know, this guy learns fast...
