declines consideration as Obama's VP nominee.
I wonder what that means...maybe Senator O has already got his short list narrowed down?
Usually a politician with a normal quota of ambition turns nothing down unless he has a good intimation that he hasn't made the top five cut. Webb would be a formidable nominee but he is a short-timer in the US Senate (Only got elected in 2006)perhaps the campaign is looking for more experience...or maybe they are polling so well in Virginia they don't need local on the ticket.
I suspect what this means is (IF it means anything) is that Senator Obama's high command is looking for an older tested democrat who can deliver his home state and won't upset the apple cart in Ohio or Florida.
This is more to the advantage of Bill Richardson, Dick Gephardt or John Edwards and less to Ted Strickland or Kathleen Sibelius.
Hell it is all soothsayer blather in extremis we will know next month.
