Hillary Accuses Obama Campaign Of Being Behind Stories About "Talks" Between Camps
During a meeting with the editorial board of the Argus Leader, Hillary appeared to accuse the Obama campaign of being behind the story CNN aired today reporting that there are "talks" between the two campaigns about her getting out of the race and possibly becoming veep.
"That's flatly untrue -- flatly, completely untrue," Hillary said when asked about "reports" of such talks. The edit board meeting is being aired live, and is still underway.
"No discussions at all," Hillary continued. "It is not anything I'm entertaining. It is nothing I've planned. It is nothing I'm prepared to engage in."
Both campaigns denied the story earlier today.
A bit later, Hillary added: "This is part of an ongoing effort to end this before it's over."
Later still, Hillary brought the hammer down: "I would look to the camp of my opponent for the source of those stories," she said.
So much for a non-aggression pact as the race draws to a close.
Late Update: It should be pointed out that the CNN story actually is explicitly sourced to people in Clinton's inner circle. What's more, Hillary's top finance chair today pushed the idea of her as veep.
