Hillary And Hussein Didn’t Discuss VP Slot Last Night
Tweet
The subject of the vice presidency wasn’t discussed in Barack Obama’s meeting with Hillary Clinton last night, a senior aide to one candidate, who was briefed on the private meeting, said.
Instead, the candidates laid the ground for a discussion of what each would commit to the other, but set up no more than a process for that discussion  they didn’t reach any agreement, the source said.
Clinton supporters have launched a range of campaigns aimed at pressuring Obama into picking Clinton, with one group, VoteBoth.com, announcing that it had gathered 25,000 signatures on a petition to that end. Polls have also suggested that Democrats say they favor a joint ticket.
But there has been virtually no sign of interest from Obama’s camp of bringing the Clintons on board. And Clinton herself has worked to damp down pressure from her supporters, aware that her only shot at a spot on the ticket would come if she’s not seen as campaigning for it.
