by Associated Press
Wednesday, June 4, 2008

WASHINGTON — Democrat Barack Obama has asked a three-person team, including Caroline Kennedy, to help lead the vetting of a prospective vice presidential candidate.

Kennedy has begun managing the process with high-profile Democratic insiders Jim Johnson and Eric Holder.

Johnson is the former CEO of Fannie Mae who also oversaw the vice presidential vetting for John Kerry in 2004 and Walter Mondale in 1984. Holder was deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration and has been a senior legal adviser to Obama’s campaign.

Said Obama spokesman Bill Burton: “Senator Obama is pleased to have three talented and dedicated individuals managing this rigorous process.”

Obama is the epitome of classiness & magnanimity. Basically I am overwhelmed by the gravity of the event and so very proud to be represented by such an incredible ethical leader. If the country doesn't get it, we don't deserve him. He has raised the bar so much and we couldn't even envision it let alone have any idea it would happen....<br/><br/>Jeff Toobin said the kkklintons showed deranged narcissism. He nailed that one. <br/><br/>I can't believe that they are actually discussing (dismissing, excusing) hellory's speech like it's ok....<br/><br/>You know what else? They are going to change the whole electoral process after using it since the inception of the nation. They are going to change it because the white man can't game it anymore. I'm not saying that it would be wrong to change it, but I think the reason & timing would be suspect. <br/><br/>Now shameless Clinton News Network is spinning to get her on the ticket. If she gets on, I'm not voting.<br/><br/>I hope O hires David Gerkin & Donna Brazile & Keith. I love them all. Yes, Michelle was a vision of lovliness tonight.
