Warner and Strickland Withdraw from VP Consideration
June 15, 2008 | Permalink
Over the past week, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and former Virginia Gov. and current Senate candidate Mark Warner have both withdrawn their names from consideration from consideration to be Sen. Obama’s VP in no uncertain terms. 
There words are reminiscent of the words of Civil War Gen. William T. Sherman, who has set the standard for denying anything with his statement of “If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve” regarding the Republican presidential nomination in 1884.
Right now, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has to be considered the front runner for Obama’s VP, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty the favorite for McCain’s VP. We’re going to lay low with the speculation for now though. We’re of the opinion that guessing the VP before hand is largely a waste of time. But rest assured, we’ll cover it thoroughly when it is announced.

I know you said that speculation at this point is a waste of time, but do you think that there’s any possibility of either candidate choosing Clinton as a running mate? My personal opinion is a resounding no.
