I don't believe for one moment that allowing the Clintons to stay relevant by putting Hillary on the ticket as VP is a win-win. Rather than just reject her, what are the factors that would be used to vet them? Can they even pass the smell test?
In taking time to evaluate "vetting critieria" I suggest the following and encourage others to take a look at the situation and add more criteria.
- Clinton Library - Will Bill release the donor list for further scrutiny?
- Murky Finances - The Obama campaign must be able to look at the taxes, receipts, etc. to clear any "gotchas"
- Campaign - Will she go on the air to rebut or clear up every nasty thing said in the campaign?
- Campaign - How will they keep Bill under control? Its almost impossible to keep "wild" Bill under proper decorum.
- Lobbyist relationships - Can they purge themselves?
These are just a few criteria I think the Clintons would reject I hope some vetting "sunlight" would drive them in the opposite direction personally.
What say you?
