Boston Mayor, pledged Clinton delegate, says she should not be VP

I thought this was interesting. There are a lot of factors to consider if she were to be in that position. I think this mayor lays out one of them.

Boston mayor Menino says Clinton shouldn't seek vice presidency

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said Hillary Clinton shouldn't run for vice president on a ticket with Barack Obama because her husband, former President Bill Clinton, could cause problems for the new administration.

"If she got back into the White House, she'd bring along Big Daddy, and he would overshadow the president," Menino said in an interview Thursday.

Bill Clinton is "pushing real hard" for his wife to be Obama's running mate, Time magazine reported this week.

Menino, 65, was reelected to his fourth term as mayor in 2005. He endorsed New York Sen. Clinton in 2007 and is a pledged Clinton delegate to the Democratic convention this August.


There is such a thing as being too divisive at the time when we should be coming together.

There are a couple of pending lawsuits which are especially divisive that are filed by Florida Demcrats.

I agree with the Boston Mayor.
