We have previously discussed how picking Clinton as his running mate would prove once and for all how naive and inexperienced Obama truly is, but one never knows what the Democratic party as a whole is going to do next to shoot themselves in the head, so who knows.
From CNN:
Sen. Hillary Clinton on Tuesday told New York lawmakers she is open to being the running mate of Sen. Barack Obama, her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, two of the lawmakers told CNN.
Rep. Charles Rangel, a senior member of the New York Democratic delegation, also told CNN, "I have reason to believe she is open to the [vice president] slot."
One of the sources added that former President Clinton has been privately pushing for a couple of weeks for his wife to be No. 2 on the ticket.
The Associated press, via Breitbart is already reporting that "Obama effectively clinches nomination", saying that "based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates, becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.."
CBS is reporting that Obama is poised to claim victory tonight as The Politico shows that superdelegates are preparing to surge to Obama.
Looks like Clinton is finally surrendering to the inevitable and is signaling to Obama that he can convince her to officially suspend the campaign IF he choses her as his VP for the nomination to be on the ticket with him in November.
Will Obama allow himself to be manipulated like that?
Stay tuned because I am sure we will all soon know the answer to that...
