Question on tactics of Clinton as VP

If the Obama camp doesn't want Clinton as VP, why not ask her to begin the vetting process? In that scenario, the Obama campaign has alot of power.

Does Bill Clinton really want to release all his personal financial info? What about the donors to his foundation? Couldn't the Obama camp very reasonably make "transparency" a condition of her VP candidacy?

They could just hint around at this and turn the whole thing back on her.

  • Would work. The Clinton's are divas. Auditioning and vetting is for the other peons. She's Hillary, goddamn it. She's entitled. She deserves it. She's earned it.

    The suggestion that Hillary would subjugate herself to a vetting process by that man, Barack Obama, why that's...SEXIST!

    That's how they'd play it... or some variation thereof.

  • I'm sure they'd cry foul, but you gotta figure the press would side with Obama. They wouldn't mind a look inside Bill Clinton's finances.

    It's kind of a poison pill way to put all this to bed. I think the drawback is that the Clinton's would get pissed at getting outplayed.
