Political bits

Chuck Todd has a very interesting look at some of the "party development" things from back in 2005, and 2006 that caused problems for Clinton in '08. (Starting on Page 2 because that's where it gets interesting.)

(TPM) Lanny Davis' VoteBoth, the top organization pushing for Clinton as VP has gathered only 25,000 signatures, only 15,000 since Tuesday. (Out of 18 million supporters, and what, 3/4 million donors?)

Speculation: You have to figure that the Obama VP vetting team is already contacting alot of the prospectives, so when I see a big name like John Edwards rule himself out, do I gather that they've told him he's not in contention?

Note: The Obama Clinton meeting apparently took place at Clinton's invitation, which according to Ambinder was actually made Sunday or Monday before Tuesday night's non-concession. How different was the real meeting to what she had planned when she made the invite?
