OH: Gov. Strickland not interested in VP slot

9:50 PM

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, a Hillary Clinton ally portrayed as a potential Barack Obama VP pick was emphatic today in expressing his disinterest in the position.

"If drafted, I will not run; nominated, I will not accept; and if elected, I will not serve," he told NPR's "All Things Considered."

But his stance isn't necessarily a repudiation of Obama. Marc Ambinder points out
Strickland's been clear about his VP feelings since at least late last year.
