President Obama's campaign manager says that he was surprised at his boss's interest in Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate, but that worries about Bill Clinton ultimately ended that flirtation.
In excerpts of his new book published online and in the new issue of Time magazine, David Plouffe writes that Obama "said if his central criterion measured who could be the best VP, she had to be included in that list. She was competent, could help in Congress, would have international bona fides and had been through this before, albeit in a different role."
