The Hill asked Senators what they would say if they were asked to be the VP, and here’s what Claire said:

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.)

“If I were asked, I would ask some mental health professionals to visit Barack Obama. I just think Sen. Obama is way too smart to pick me. I’m not a good pick, and he’s smarter than that. That’s why he’s going to make such a good president.”

It’s one thing to say no, but a quote like this pretty much ensures that she won’t be VP.  I mean, Obama wouldn’t want to make a pick that shows he’s “not smart”, right?  

Personally, I’m glad.  I think we’ll get POTUS this year, and I’d like to see us get it with a filibuster proof Senate.  We don’t need the headache of having to fight all over again for McCaskill’s seat.

Go for the Governors!
