Hillary Clinton “was never vetted” for VP

There’s one Democrat who would seem to have little or no chance of being picked by Sen. Barack Obama to be his running mate — his former opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
But it’s not for the reason you might think.
The Illinois senator 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 Friday. “She was not asked for a single piece of paper. She and Sen. Obama have never had a single conversation about it. How would he know if she’d take it?”
The official also said Clinton never met with Obama’s vetting team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy. Subscribe=>![]()
