As Obama Races toward Nomination, Clinton Hints at VP spot
June 4, 2008
Just three days ago, Sen. Hillary Clinton’s supporters and surrogates threatened to keep the epic Democratic nominating battle going later into the summer, possibly as far as the party convention in August.
But on Tuesday morning, the Associated Press was crafting a new story line. First it reported that Clinton would concede defeat in the five-month battle later in the day when Sen. Barack Obama won enough delegates to claim the nomination.
The Clinton camp quickly shot down the story. But at 1:23 p.m., the AP followed up its earlier assertion with a report that Obama would “effectively clinch” the 2,118 delegates needed to secure the Democratic nomination by day’s end.
