Drudge is reporting that Hillary refuses to stoop so low as to be Kerry's vp - as if she would ever be asked to be on the ticket. She offers little to a Kerry ticket except instant loathing from hoards of crucial independent voters. I guess by backing out early apparently on her own initiative she avoids the shame of being blatantly passed over.
My wish is that Kerry wins, gets re-elected in 2008, and picks a youthful VP who would outshine Hillary's bid in 2012. I'm a Deaniac democrat, but it's clear to me that Bill Clinton set the party way back with his centrism and second term antics. Hillary would be the last nail in the coffin.
