The Field can now confirm, based on multiple sources, something that both campaigns publicly deny: that
Senator Clinton has directly told Senator Obama that she wants to be his vice presidential nominee, and that Senator Obama politely but straightforwardly and irrevocably said “no.” Obama is going to pick his own running mate based on his own criteria and vetting process.

I find hours later the need to add here that I believe this account. I am remembering that it was the Clintons who did everything to quash Howard Dean's run for 2004. I cannot but believe it was because they did not want a Democrat to win. Nobody was excited about Kerry. I feel as though they are party to all this fraud and manipulation we classically hold against Republicans. I felt early on that Karl Rove was working for Hillary, covertly, but with her consent, and her recent blather about his analysis proving she's the best candidate against McWarmonger only strengthens that feeling. I think the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party is taking it back from the Fascist wing of the Democratic Party. Also this bit of information explains why Hillary started to mellow out, only to resurge with this psychotic stuff about winning the popular vote and being the stronger against McWarmonger and using the nuclear option at the convention. Does she think that saying she's won the popular vote will make enough people believe it so she can cheat her way in? The little universe of crackers to which I have a line are all as appalled by his stupidity and bald-faced lying, his drunken senility, as we are. There's every reason to state that Howard Dean and Barack Obama are even stronger than she is with the pertinent committee at the convention. I think she is trying to terrify them into making her VP... which... er... I don't even want to say what kind of a mistake that would be....

Let's just say historically bad.

I have been against Hillary for president since 2004, and it's only gotten more solid.

I think she may once have been a good person, when she was still young, but that was forty years ago, and some of the stuff Republicans were screeching about her is now seeming much less crazy to me.

I think we're all in big trouble if she manages to get what she wants.
