How long will it be before we see Lockjaw yachting off of the Vineyard some July afternoon with Cronkite and the Clintons?
I thought I saw some reports shortly after the election that reported Caroline Kennedy admitting that Brokaw was shortlisted for VP. Then, nothing more was ever said.
If this is true, it begs some obvious questions. The “short list” comment is telling. This isn’t some wish list, but rather in it’s context is implicit involvement (at least on some level) by the potential candidate. Was Brokaw aware of his position on the VP list? If so, did he provide any preliminary information to the selection commitee? Did he have any conversation, no matter how limited with Obama or any of Obama’s designates?
I just can’t believe that no one has asked these questions of Brokjaw and NBC, or perhaps I’ve just missed them.
