Hillary-friendly NBC newswoman Andrea Mitchell said Sunday that the former first lady is indeed interested in teaming up with Sen. John Kerry as his vice presidential running mate.

Dismissing the longshot prospect that Sen. John McCain might switch parties to run with Kerry, Mitchell told NBC's "Chris Matthews Show," "I think there's another long ball - Hillary."

"According to Republicans and Democrats on the Hill in the cloakrooms, she is interested in running," Mitchell insisted.

She suggested that Sen. Clinton is "doing what is necessary" right now to show proforma support for Kerry's presidential bid, but would take a much higher profile if she knew such an invitation was in the offing.

Yeah, two eastcoast libs....that's the ticket. I'm guessing she'd be as popular as Geraldine Ferraro was so many years ago.....

[traumer]

I which case - you better watch out Johny....

[NativeNewYorker]

Evita! Evita!

[Theodore R.]

But Geraldine Ferraro Zaccaro could not deliver the Queens borough to Mondale. Can Hillary deliver AR for the second JFK. LBJ narrowly delivered it for the first JFK.

[Maynerd]

I hope this true. The US voters will finally expitiate Clintonism and MA liberalism in one fell swoop.

[schu]

Here it is, the bait and switch. When JFK slumps and its time to pull a Torricelli, she will be there to take the nomination, no questions asked.

If she wins, great. If she loses, its not her fault and she is the defacto candidate in 2008 for the Demos.

Hiilary!: "Hey, F*-Face, here's the deal. I've got your FBI file right here. You're going to put me on the ticket, and then have a "flair up" of your pancreatic cancer around, let's say, October 1, and drop out. I'll get you a cushy cabinet job in my administration, or maybe Ambassador to France. In any case, as Michael Corleone said to his Consigliere, "Sorry Tom, You're Out!"

Kerry announces Hillary for VP. Ten seconds later, Kerry's prostate explodes. Hillary picks John Edwards for VP, and her husband (when there is no bimbo in his lap) for Secretary of State.

Well, they just sewed up the lesbian/NOW vote. </blindingly obvious>

[Exodus22]

When I first read that I thought it said "Hillary wants VP SHOT"...

[Diogenesis]

THE REAL DEAL

[sd-joe]

"I think there's another long ball - Hillary."

Hillary may be a lot of things, but a "long ball" is not one of them.

Hillary picks John Edwards for VP, and her husband (when there is no bimbo in his lap) for Secretary of State.

Cant' do that. No family member of the President can be appointed to the President's cabinet. You have Bobby Kennedy to thank for that.

[dawn53]

Kerry would have to be dumber than I already think he is (and that's pretty dumb), to put Hillary in his VP spot.

"Kerry announces Hillary for VP. Ten seconds later, Kerry's prostate explodes. Hillary picks John Edwards for VP, and her husband (when there is no bimbo in his lap) for Secretary of State "

AND don't forget Clark for the Department of Defense :o)

[JmyBryan]

I also believe he will choose Hillary - and that will be an excellent development for Bush. Even the least interested in politics can see how nakedly political an act that is.

[Bullish]

Osama Bin Hillary running with Kerry?

She won't take the #2 slot. She wants ALL the marbles.

[Pukin Dog]

Good to know, thanks. Either way, we are winning.

Kerry wont have a dime to spend if he doesn't take Hillary, but then Kerry just reverts back to his Gigalo status, shutting his mouth and doing what he's told for the money.

Hillary may as well dress him in Latex and make him her bitch.

[livius]

LOL! Personally, though, if I were Flip-Flop and Hillary wanted to run with ME, I'd be looking for a very good bodyguard right now.

Hillary doesn't want to play second fiddle to anybody. If she's leaking this now, its because she wants to be the candidate - for President.
