When Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton dropped out of the presidential race last month, I’m sure she anticipated getting something out of it from Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Obama has mentioned, numerous times, that Clinton would be on anyone’s shortlist. According to published reports, though, anyone but Obama’s.
When Obama appeared on Sunday’s Meet the Press, he hinted that his vice president would be someone not closely identified with Washington, which could possibly rule out Clinton.
More telling is that in recent days, Clinton has said that she believes there’s little chance that Obama will choose her and the mention of her being under consideration is but a courtesy.
Obama’s aides and associates even say that, for various reasons, he is not looking at Clinton to run and serve with him.
An announcement of his VP choice may be made a week before the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 25, Obama has said. Aides to the Illinois senator, however, say it could be sooner.

A jury of 12 white men, her subpoenaed peers, found Lena guilty of murder in less than 6 hours. She received the death penalty as her sentence, earning Lena Baker a place in history as the first and only woman to be sentenced to death by electric chair in the state Georgia. She was pardoned posthumously in 2005.
The Lena Baker Story stars actress Tichina Arnold and has yet to have an official release date. Although the movie will have small screenings in Atlanta, word is the are still looking for a US distributor. Looks good though.
