(CNN) – Sen. Barack Obama called some people on his short-list for the vice presidential slot Thursday night to tell them he had not selected them as running mate, a highly placed Democratic party source told CNN.
The source did not say which people got the call.
Obama has told some other potential running mates over the last few weeks that he would not be choosing them.

I got one of these calls last night...needless to say I was very disappointed. I will continue to do all I can to get Obama into the White House, however.
This is a story for the Ticker?? CNN, this is pretty lame!! As if this is a controversial topic and needs discussion on the Ticker.
Whomever came up with this story to be entered onto the Ticker should be sent home for the day, and quite possibly fired!!
I'm still holding out for Colin Powell, Mike Bloomberg or Bob Wexler. Biden is very problematic with foot-in-mouth disease, Bayh is way to right-of-center for the majority of the party, and Bill Richardson is a mixed bag; but, no way Clinton – waaaay too polarizing as a candidate and much better as Attorney General or Supreme Court. My darkhorse is still Al Gore – as a measure keeping the world's attention on U.S. leadership in global energy security and green initiatives and innovation that will bring about a societal shift towards sustainability. It would be an amazing platform for Gore and solidify the experience factor for Obama. The GOP is still in denial of what economic opportunities exist domestically and abroad by making a quantum policy shift on energy and security. Obama would be smart to bright-line these differences.
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Had to put this one here since the other one closed.
Obama and the DEMs are letting us down.
Straight and simple McCain is an elitist and purely dishonest.
I may not know much about being rich with my single mortgage but for McCain to pathetically deflect a question on his home ownership to his staff is beyond reason. Why would his staff know more of what he owns than he does? Clearly he’s able to lie with a straight face. Soon enough McCain will come back and tell us he was joking. We have a joke in the WH so we don’t need another joker in the WH for 4 more years. Obama/DEMs need to get on this “Straight Lie Express” and run it aground. If McCain truly doesn’t know, that makes it even worse because I don’t want someone who doesn’t have a clue what he owns running our country.
It's gotta be Hillary. She's the only one who will get him any more votes. Without her, he loses!!
If Obama has to win he has to pick either one of the following 3:
1st choice : Hillary (ignore Bill – I don't like Hillary either)
2nd choice: Wesley Clark (will make McCain look small)
3rd choice: Biden
Bayh, Kaine or Sebelius does not do it for him
Obama ... I know all the things that you want and I can give them to you and all you have to do is give me your soul.
= Randall Flagg
he did not call me !!!!!!!!
chump
Wow CNN -- this story appeared 3 times within you headlines! 3 TIMES and not one McCain story.
I still dont know who I am gonig to vote for and it seems that I wont find ballanced issues and platforms on this site.
Would you all please just calm down and let this man choose his VP in peace???? I mean every move he makes, you all blast it like it's news or something.....Let the man pick his VP.
Nice picture.
He looks like he just caught a big fish.
ehhhhhhhhh, he didn't call me?
Bill
Ooooooooh!
I believe that Obama has good judgement, and will pick someone who can really work with him to accomplish the great and positive changes planned.
It is disappointing that there are those who are so Billary hungry that they can't move past there anger. However, I know that change is hard. I was a Clinton supporter at first, but that did change during the negative primary season. It is time for the Democratic party to unite, and work together to heal our nation.
Honestly, it would be a pleasant surprise if he picked Caroline Kennedy.
Obama / Kennedy 08 and beyond . . .
I guess it is time to vote republican
Fired up...ready to go!!!
I'm sure the call went something like this: Sorry Hillary, you were on the long list. On top of that, your PUMA's didn't help your cause.
Good luck Barack, I hope you will be the next President of the USA
By the way: If John McCain cant tel how much houses he owns, and he has 4, I realy think he have a problem with his short term memory.
And I think he has and we wil see it in the next few months.
I have not received mine yet, so maybe there is still hope for me....I can't wait to find out who it will be....exciting days ahead.
This cat and mouse game of choosing the VP is getting tedious. Why don't they just all grow up...This is too important a decision for the voters. It will definitely determine whether I will vote at all....
please not Bayh!
Get out the vote come November.The only hope Republicans have is for APATHY. They are out to destroy your hopes and dreams for a better future.
Good luck Barack, I hope you will be the next President of the USA

Okay...so who's the VP candidate for Obama?
