Corzine, Clinton Supporter to the End

With scuttlebutt suggesting Senator Barack Obama is unlikely to pick Senator Hillary Clinton as his running mate, Clinton's good friend Governor Jon Corzine said this morning that Clinton would be a "very strong" vice president. "Could she be president? Absolutely. Is she going to add something to the ticket? Yes." The Star-Ledger reports that Corzine, speaking on MSNBC, also thinks that Senator Joe Biden (Del.) is good choice. Biden, Senator Evan Bayh (Ind.) and Virgina Governor Tim Kaine are reportedly on Obama's VP shortlist. Senator John McCain's VP shortlist reportedly has former Massachusetts governor MItt Romney, former Rep. Rob Portman (Ohio), Minnesota Governor Pawlenty, and former Homeland Security secretary Tom Ridge.
