Lanny Davis, former Bill Clinton special counsel, and longtime friend of Hillary Clinton has been circulating a petition to get Hillary Clinton the VP spot. He says he's doing it on his own, without the urging of Hillary or her campaign. Incidentally, Bob Johnson, BET Founder and major Democratic Party Donor, also sent a letter to Obama urging him to choose Hillary as his running mate. Obama, his wife Michelle (who hates Hillary), and his backers are deathly against the idea. The latest is Jimmy Carter, who today told the press it would be the biggest mistake Obama could make. What else is new...more hating on Hillary by the "white men" in the Party.
Meanwhile, Lanny Davis is upset that the Obama Camapign is mad that Hillary did not "use the right language" last night, supposedly because she did not concede, drop out, and end her campaign forthwith. According to Davis, they (Obama supporters), most notably a prominent one, have been emailing him and threatening Hillary. As Lanny David puts it...they are holding a gun to her head. Sounds like David Axelrod to me.
I also heard that Obama hasd named Caroline Kennedy and Eric Holder (Clinton employee) and Johnson (Head of Fannie Mae) to vet VP choices. All I can say is...so what. If they think they can diss Hillary and pick a "white man" or another "white woman" to get her supporters, they will rue the day. I think they are underestimating the ferocity of the dislike for Obama by Hillary's supporters.
