Source: Clinton has been told she's not the VP pick
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/08/22/art.clintonvp.gi.jpg caption="Clinton has been informed she will not be Obama's VP."] (CNN) - Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama has ruled out Senator Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate, a senior Democratic official told CNN on Friday night.
Clinton - Obama's main rival during the primary season - has been informed by Obama's campaign that she is not his choice to be his vice presidential candidate, the source said.
why would obama select someone as his running mate, who publically stated that john mccain was qualified to be president, whereas obama was not qualified. hillary should seek to become mccain's running mate
I'm hoping Wesley Clark. That would carry Arkansas and really give Obama an attack dog for McCain.
Hillary for a Cabinet spot until a Supreme Court Justice spot opens up.
If this is true, OBAMA lost my vote! GO MCCAIN!!!!!
Hillary2012!!!
Obama obviously doesn't need my vote. How will he reach across the aisle to get things done with Republicans if he can't reach across to the other side of his own party?
Obama, good luck you will need it. Hillary 2012
This just ices it. Obama and his team are so over confident, so arrogant, so ungrateful – for me it will be a write in for Hillary on the November ballot or I might vote for McCain – a man of experience, who had his bones broken in service to this country. Obama – what has he served, but his own ambitions.
Thank God! I would have been rather disappointed if he chose her just to placate her stubborn supporters.
Obama/Biden 08/12
Or maybe just renting a movie that night.
So sick of this clown ignoring half of his own party.
I'm glad he's bringing this process into the 21st century – maybe training for other political big shots on high tech stuff will be next?
No more horse and buggy – No more "NAM"
We have to look forward, not backward. Would CNN succeed on RADIO?
I am sad =(
Well, Well, Well. Who cares? Hillary is better off. In 4 years Hillary will be back. Oh yes! Hillary: 18 million voices minus 1? Who needs him? We love you Hillary. You play second to NO ONE. See you in 4 years.
well too bad..I wanted obama to be president, but he cant do it without clinton...he needs those votes
Clinton for VP or Obama loses my vote.
Thank the lord
Duh.
If this is true, OBAMA, you are an IDIOT.
WOW, there are gonna be SOOOOO many people who don't vote this November, and SOOOOO many people who will change Parties because of this..............talk about "Disenfranchisement"......
Well there goes my vote. Goodbye Obama.
If Hillary is not the VP, this life-long Democrat will sit this election out. With 18,000,000 voters behind her, she deserved the position.
I am still waiting for the Obama magnet that was promised when I made one contribution.
I "hope" this is not an omen of things to come. Make promises and do not deliver!
It's Biden
Final straw in the disrespect of Senator Clinton. She garnered just as many votes as Obama in the primary, 18 million to be exact. His refusal to put her on the ticket, let alone even sincerely help to retire her campaign debt is more than enough to show me he apparently does not need or want my support.
Thank God!!
Huge mistake Barack. You just lost me, my money and lots of other democrats expecting you to do the right thing to unify our democratic party.
Well there goes my vote. Goodbye Mr. Obama.
