Veneman mentioned as potential Obama running mate
-------------------------------------------------

Former Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, a member of the Bush Cabinet
and lifelong Republican, was mentioned Saturday as a possible running
mate for Democratic Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama. In a story
published by Politico.com, Democratic members of Congress reported
that Obama's vice presidential search committee has raised Veneman's
name as a potential candidate. They were quoted as saying Veneman was
under consideration because she might garner support from uncommitted
Republicans and Independents.

Neither the Obama campaign nor Veneman confirmed that she was under
consideration, according to the Politico.com story. Nonetheless, the
rumor quickly swept the Internet. Veneman served as Secretary of
Agriculture from 2001 through 2004 under President George W. Bush. She
currently is the director-general of UNICEF, the UN agency for
children, headquartered in New York City.

Veneman was among several names mentioned by the Obama's selection
committee, headed by Caroline Kennedy and Eric Holder, according to
the Politico story.
