re: Hillary was never even vetted for the VP spot
Not what I read. Apparently she declined because she knew the Obama lawyers would be looking into the murky financial background of her husband's foundation.
>"Even his much-criticized failure to "vet" Sen. Hillary Clinton means less than meets the eye. I talked two months ago to one of her closest legal advisors, who told me that she didn't really WANT to be considered for the number two job--in no small measure because the process would have required Obama's lawyers to comb through her husband's foundation and its murky sources of income."
