Clinton-Backing House Members To "Demand" Hillary As VP

Politico notes:

In one corner of the House, female lawmakers such as Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio) were planning to write a letter demanding that Clinton be on the presidential ticket.

"There are a lot of members of Congress who feel this way," Wasserman Schultz said. "That way, we can maximize party unity and the odds of winning the election. They balance each other out in every way. They're the dynamic duo. They really are."

In another corner, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) declared that the Congressional Black Caucus should stay out of the business of pushing for a vice presidential nominee.

And in the Senate, Clinton and Obama surrogates talked respectfully about helping the party heal itself -- yet Democrats disagreed over exactly how that should happen.

"The question now is: How do we integrate the supporters on both sides?" said Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), a Clinton supporter. "But I think the winning side should do the reaching out. They have to make sure they reach out to Clinton supporters to solidify the Democratic Party."
