With decision looming, Clinton narrows VP short-list

Kaine of Virginia have emerged as the leading candidates on a longer list of finalists Hillary Clinton is considering for her vice-presidential running mate, according to interviews with multiple Democrats with knowledge of her deliberations.

Elizabeth Warren is the only one among Hillary Clinton's oft-mentioned potential running mates who is well known, but the MA senator also happens to be the most polarizing of the group, according to a new McClatchy-Marist Poll.

"If Goofy Elizabeth Warren, a very weak Senator, didn't lie about her heritage (being Native American) she would be nothing today". Two women have never headlined a major party's presidential ticket.

"It's unlikely you're going to upstage the Republican National Convention with a VP pick", he said.

"He is selling something that people don't fully understand and appreciate what it actually means", Vilsack said in an interview with NBC News, likening the NY real estate developer to the former stockbroker now serving a 150-year prison sentence.

Five men sought after 'unacceptable' night of violence in London
Mr Harrington said police would not tolerate violent behaviour and will be looking into whether any of the incidents were linked. However at around 8:40pm, the police said the large crowd became hostile and bottles were thrown at officers.

Karen Bernal, a delegate from Sacramento who was elected as co-representative of the Sanders delegation from California, agreed, stating: "Can any Democratic presidential candidate afford to do without solid support from this base in a general election?"

"I get really irritated when I hear Donald Trump say, 'Let's make America great again, '" Vilsack said in an Associated Press interview.

Vilsack attended Albany Law School and graduated in 1975. When Vilsack was first running for governor, Clinton played a pivotal role in his campaign.

Clinton has acknowledged that the most important criteria is "experience".

He is a latecomer to the pool of possible vice presidential choices but his star has risen over the past two weeks, several Democrats said. "What can I say?"

MA governor signs trans non-discrimination bill
Be Civil - It's OK to have a difference in opinion but there's no need to be a jerk. Charlie Baker (R-Mass.) has signed into law a pro-trans non-discrimination bill.

The head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and so-called darling of the Democratic Party, has always been considered a potential VP pick for Clinton.

Clinton's decision will be steeped in her personal experience.

Although it is unclear whether Obama offered Clinton thoughts about Kaine, senior White House officials described the one-time mayor of Richmond as particularly in sync with Obama on issues including criminal justice reform, the death penalty and anti-poverty efforts.

One person who appears to have fallen out of contention for Clinton's vice presidential slot is Massachusetts Sen. Vilsack was vetted in 2004 by John Kerry as a potential vice presidential candidate but was not chosen.

Clinton's choice will be the culmination of a closely held search for a running mate, run by a small group of longtime advisers and confidantes.

Tesla owner says his car also crashed in autopilot
The driver allegedly told police that Autopilot had been engaged at the time of the crash. The driver and a passenger were injured, according to the police report .

Clinton praised several candidates, saying she has the "blessing of having some excellent choices". Virginia is seen as safer for Clinton this year, but she will need more help in Iowa, they said. Just last week, Hickenlooper hosted a fundraiser for Clinton at his Denver residence.
