Ohio's Governor Strickland Won't Accept VP Slot
Appearing on NPR's "All Things Considered," Ohio Governor Ted Strickland unequivocally ruled out being Barack Obama's running mate, The Washington Post reports.
Hailing from one of the most important swing states, Strickland had been one of the most talked about VP possibilities for Obama, but asked if he is auditioning for the job, he was Shermanesque in ruling it out.
"Absolutely not. If drafted I will not run, nominated I will not accept and if elected I will not serve. So, I don’t know how more crystal clear I can be," he said.
Strickland is expected to join Obama when the presumptive Democratic nominee stumps in Ohio on Friday.

Unfortunately, and unlike John McCain, Jimmy Webb is not only a moral coward, but he is too stupid not to say no to a real coward who deliberately avoided service. In short, Webb would diss a real hero who served in the same place he did and support a chickenmanure who hates what he stands for.
But then again, this is the same booze-faced bozo who turned down Nancy Reagan''s plea.
A real moral coward and total idiot.
Well, if he is THAT allergic to Obama, Obama is better off not stumping with him in Ohio, either. Obama should put out a statement: "If Strickland offers to help, I''ll refuse. If he comes, I''ll tell him to go away. If he tries to stick around anyway, I''ll personally drive him away."
They don''t want a candidate that has been in a twenty year relationship with Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ.
They don%u2019t%u2019 want a candidate that has a twenty year relationship with Father Plaeger as his compass in life
They don%u2019t want a candidate that went to a church that supports Louis Farrakhan, an anti Semitic racist.
They don''t want to defend Black Liberation theology.
They don%u2019t want a candidate that lies about his relationship with Tony Rezko, the Syrian Criminal that sold his property to Obama and supported his campaign.
They don''t want a candidate that could work with a domestic terrorist, William Ayers.
They dont'' want a candidate that didn''t stand up for the voters of Michigan and Florida.
They don%u2019t want a candidate that Hamas supports.
They don%u2019t want a candidate that Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam supports
They don%u2019t want a candidate that has a wife that has just now realized she liked our country
One can understand why "janitoring" is high on his mind: his brain needs a good cleaning out. The hate will remain, of course, but perhaps it''ll take a while for new cusswords to re-enter. By which time Obama will be President.
If Stickland likes his job or coming back to ohio. He would never get hired anywhere.
Wise decision

so don''t vote for him already--give it a rest--we''ve heard the diatribes and whining and excuses for the racism all this time--do what you like--vote how you like, we all know why--yep. We do. All of you HRC supporters act like you are trying to convince yourselves as well as the rest of us why you are doing what you are doihg--relax.
This is your fate--play it the way you want--If/when McCain comes to power with your help and he makes the SCOTUS far right wing, the war continues, gas rises to 7 or even 10.00/gallon, illegal immigrants are amnestied, and you lose your job to outsourcing---rest assured we all will be miserable with you ---but the rest of us will have clean hands and consciences--you can live with your hatred--hope it drives, feeds, and employs ya too. LMAO
Who''d want to be part of this Marxist whack job''s administration?
