Why Bill Won't Want Hillary For VP

There's been more than enough speculation about Hillary Clinton joining Barack Obama on the Democratic ticket as his Vice Presidential running mate. It all sounds so obvious when you have two candidates so evenly matched. But there is one little problem. You see, when you run for President, you control how much information is disclosed about you, your family, your finances. But when you are being considered for Vice President, someone else controls the disclosure process. It's more akin to being considered for the Supreme Court or the Cabinet. The FBI gets involved, raw investigative reports are written, and complete financial disclosures are required. Now ask yourself, if I am Bill Clinton, do I really want my wife to put me through all that?

If you would like a little preview of just what might be included in that disclosure process, read Todd Purdom's lengthy article in the July issue of Vanity Fair, due out next week. And if you can't wait that long for all the juicy details, read the full article online now at VF's website, www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/07/clinton200807.
