Hillary’s delusions of grandeur, coming to an end

2008.07.29

In recent statements by Bam’s group and Hillary’s group, it is becoming apparent that the Obama ticket will more than likely, not feature Hillary as his running mate. Hillary’s camp has stated that they are interpreting early indications of Obama’s consideration of Hillary as a VP, as more of a courtesy than anything substantive. It is also noted that the Obama camp has not requested Hillary’s written documentation to be vetted, as part of the selection process, that is apparently occurring with other possible VP candidates.

The NY Times reports that Obama’s advisers stated that “a central message of his campaign — that he would represent a break from the way politics are conducted in Washington — would be tarnished by the simple act of linking himself to the family that has dominated Democratic politics since Bill Clinton won the presidency in 1992.” In my opinion that is as strong of a reason as any to count Hillary out.
