It wasn't exactly a Shermanesque statement, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California says she has no interest in being the Democratic vice presidential candidate this year.
At her weekly press conference this morning, Pelosi insisted that both Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton still have a chance to win the Democratic presidential nomination, so both have the right to start thinking about running mates. So one of the reporters threw it out there: Would she take the slot, if one of them asked her?
"Are you kidding?" Pelosi laughed. "Being Speaker of the House is the best job in the world. Why would I want to be number two?"
And with that, the Republicans' favorite "San Francisco liberal" was out of the vice-presidential race. Somewhere, the heart of an attack ad maker is breaking.
