Clinton Vetting a Retired Admiral for Veep

“Hillary Clinton’s campaign is vetting James G. Stavridis, a retired four-star Navy admiral who served as the 16th supreme allied commander at NATO, as a possible running mate,” the New York Times reports.

“Some close to Mrs. Clinton, the former secretary of state, say she was always likely to have someone with military experience on her vice-presidential shortlist, and Mr. Stavridis, currently the dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts University, fits the description.”

“The Clinton campaign declined requests for comment, and Mr. Stavridis declined to comment other than referring calls to the campaign.”
