Senator Hillary Clinton was nearly named as John Kerry’s Vice Presidential canidate according to an article in the New York Daily News, and an upcoming book by Bob Shrum.  Said one source, in the Daily News column, “her name was proactively put on the list”.  According to Shrum’s book, No Excuses: Concessions of a Serial Campaigne, “A quiet round of polling helped guide the search. Hillary Clinton had high negatives - she would hurt the ticket”.   

No Excuses is due out in June.
