A Hillary Clinton supporter says Barack Obama is considering Hillary Clinton as a possible running mate, but there may be a snag with former president Bill Clinton. The LA Times reports that Obama had reached out to donor and Westchester resident Jill Iscol, who was apparently "unhappy" how the media and other Democrats treated Hillary. Iscol recounted Obama's concerns about Bubba, "[Obama] said once you're a president, even if you're a former president, you're always a president." Iscol still thinks Hillary Clinton may have a chance at being VP, but says she's waiting to see how Obama does with promises to pay down Clinton's debt (plus who he picks for VP) before donating.
