A top Clinton advisor also told CNN they were “outraged,” over how the process was conducted.
“You can’t put [Obama VP vetters] Eric Holder and Carolyn Kennedy on an hour plane ride to Chappaqua just to check the box? They should have done it just for the optics,” this person said. “Barack never even said to her, ‘Here’s how I envision the job’– not one discussion with her about [the position].”
“They thought her supporters were mad before? They are really mad now,” this person also said. We knew it was never going to happen but you would have thought they might at least make a show of it.”
Former Clinton strategist Paul Begala echoed similar frustrations on CNN Friday night.
“I think there are a lot of Hillary voters who are going to say, ‘Hey, wait a minute, man. You said you were going to put her on the short list. You know, you didn’t even vet her. You didn’t call her. You didn’t seek her advice,’” Begala said. “By the way, he didn’t seek President Clinton’s advice either. He’s actually the guy who I think picked the best vice president in American history. You would think maybe you would sort of check in with him.”

So sad.
These people deserve to lose.
These people are actually surprised?
Kennedy was smart enough to bring his rival, LBJ, into the government. This guy's ego and the fact that he is telling the Clinton's "hey bitches, it's My Party now" is the kind of thing that breeds payback.
Behind the scenes, don't think that the McCain people aren't thinking of ways to take advantage of this.
Watch Joe Lieberman.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
fight!
'Can you believe it?? They didn't even ask President Clinton's advice either -- I am shocked...Shocked I tells ya'...
WTF? Is this some urban gen-XYZ speak?
It's inexcusable the way that upstart Obama treated a seasoned veteran like Hillary!
She and Bill should do everything in their power to cut this punk down to size!
The nerve of some people!
(hee hee!)
Carolyn Kennedy on an hour plane ride to Chappaqua just to check the box?
