Obama starts VP search
By Michael Ventura

Barack Obama has asked a three-person team, including Caroline Kennedy, to help lead the vetting of a prospective vice presidential candidate. Kennedy joins high-profile Democratic insiders Jim Johnson and Eric Holder. Johnson oversaw the vice presidential vetting for John Kerry in 2004 and Walter Mondale in 1984. Holder was deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration.

If Hillary Clinton ever wonders how it is this election escaped her, it is because Barak Obama voted against going to war, and Hillary voted with the majority of the senate to send our troops to Iraq. As a resident of Manhattan at the time, and of Brooklyn now, I felt that Clinton’s vote at that time did not represent her constituency, but was cast as an act of political expediency. Over and over again friends and family have asked why I refused EVER to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton and this is why. Any intelligent person at the time could have posited correctly that this is the Vietnam of the 21st Century. Ms.Clinton’s work on health care is great, but not great enough to erase this hideous stain on her voting record.
