While they probably did not intend it this way, the Democratic National Committee just stated that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton will not be Barack Obama's pick for vice president.
In recent months there was a growing sense that Obama would pick someone other than his one-time Democratic rival for the nomination. A website developed by two former Clinton aides, voteboth.com, even stopped their efforts to put the two together because they were convinced it would not happen.
But in announcing the line-up for the Democratic National Convention in Denver today, the DNC made it official for the first time. On Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton will be given the prime time keynote speaking slot. On Wednesday the same time will be given to the vice presidential pick. Two different people on two different nights.
This does not preclude Obama from picking Clinton anyway though it would be a little odd that a convention he is essentially running on would reverse itself in such a dramatic way.
