Clinton Not A "Serious" VP Candidate

This won't help party unity.

Some senior Obama supporters are irritated at how they perceive the Clintons fanned ? or at a minimum failed to douse ? stories that she was not even vetted as a possible vice presidential nominee. This is because she told Obama she preferred not to go through the rigorous process of document production unless she was really a serious contender, an Obama associate noted.

One senior Obama supporter said the Clinton associates negotiating on her behalf act like ?Japanese soldiers in the South Pacific still fighting after the war is over.?

Wow. That is a damning admission. It looks like there's a good reason Clinton wasn't vetted. She told the Obama campaign not to vet her. Unless, that is, she was a "serious contender" for the VP slot. Apparently she wasn't.

When Biden slips over his own tongue next, insults gun owners, or fails to convince working class voters that he's one of them, don't be surprised to hear Hillary's people chuckling in the background.

Especially after that Japanese soldiers remark.
