There Was NO Leak From Obama's Campaign Re: Potential VP's. It Was Entirely Fabricated By Media |
|
Edited on Wed Jun-11-08 02:42 PM by cryingshame
the Mediawhores talked to some people on Capitol Hill about what names may get mentioned and that's where that list came from.
I was very annoyed that someone posted a thread calling it "Obama's".
There was no leaked info and if you actually bothered to read any of the news reports, they said as much.

3. You got it, cs. media is smearing Johnson now because they're getting uncomfortable |
|
being seen as targeting Obama.
Looks to me like this is a decided tactic to try and bring Obama down. Target every one key to Obama's efforts.

6. There are also a few Dem bignames who would target Johnson for smearing, too. |
|
Certain characters who have been unable to pass his strict vetting process come to mind.

11. Obama will turn it into lemonade.. |
|
For one thing..it shows you really need to VET exponentially for the VP if this happens to the VP Vetter.
So, that means a certain someone will not cut the mustard.

7. EXACTLY ... but who benefitted from this *leak*? |
|
Edited on Wed Jun-11-08 03:04 PM by LSparkle
Every pundit yesterday was characterizing this as a "slight" to HRC's supporters (what, she's only ONE NAME among 30? Harumph!). Who benefits from this?
I feel it's either BombBomb's people -- who are aggressively trying to court HRC's disenchanted followers -- or the angry wing of HRC's campaign that wants to ensure that the schism of the party continues until the convention (with the hopes that Obama will conclude the ONLY way to heal the divide is to put her on the ticket).
ON EDIT: See post above about some who may have had axes to grind with Johnson over not being able to pass the vetting... does a former president come to mind?

9. I noticed that the claim of a leak came from the Politico |
|
They've fabricated several things before, so I didn't trust this report.

15. Sorry, but this sounds like its generated by Clinton camp revenge knowing full well that |
|
Johnson struck Clintons off the list long ago because of vetting problems.
This is how Clintons are getting their revenge - smear Johnson's ethics with innuendo.
