Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Late Edition Sunday that Barack Obama's campaign hasn't asked her for background information for vetting purposes.
"They have not, and I'm always honored to be mentioned," she said.
Several of those who appear to be on Obama's short list have declined to discuss whether they have shared background information with the presumed Democratic nominee, meaning McCaskill remains a tremendous longshot among those who have been mentioned.
The odds notwithstanding, Republican Renaissance Man Rob Portman, appearing alongside McCaskill to debate the merits of Obama and presumed Republican nominee John McCain, jokingly threw his weight behind McCaskill.
"I'm supporting Sen. McCaskill on the Democrat side after her feisty performance today. I think she'd be great for Sen. Obama," he said.
