WASHINGTON -- Two members of Barack Obama's vice presidential-vetting team met privately Monday with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Reid's spokesman, Jim Manley, said Jim Johnson and Eric Holder spent about 30 minutes with the Nevada Democrat in his Capitol office. He declined further comment.

It was not immediately clear whether Johnson and Holder were seeking Reid's advice about Obama's search for a running mate, whether he was considered a potential ticket-mate himself, or whether the meeting was for a different purpose.

Johnson and Holder also had a meeting scheduled for later in the day with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
