The Hillary-for-veep campaign ain't lookin' too good:
"They were hoping for a dream ticket, but now it appears they will have to settle for a speech. The leaders of an online campaign to pressure Senator Barack Obama into picking Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate have ended their bid, saying all signs indicate that Mrs. Clinton is not in serious contention for the vice-presidential slot. Adam Parkhomenko and Sam Arora, both former Clinton aides and the founders of the Web site, VoteBoth.com, notified the more than 40,000 supporters who had signed a petition backing an Obama-Clinton ticket on Thursday. In an e-mail message shutting down the effort, the two men said Mr. Obama’s offer of a keynote address to Mrs. Clinton at the Democratic National Convention indicated that she would not be tapped to be his No. 2. It is expected that she will speak on Tuesday night, Aug. 26. “Because it seems that Senator Obama has made his decision to offer the slot on the ticket to another candidate,” the men wrote, “we believe that continuing to ask him to pick Hillary is no longer helpful to our party’s chances of winning in November.”
And what ARE the Hillaryites doing with all those Denver hotel rooms they booked way back when????
