She doesn't want to be VP. This is all speculation so the press can still have high ratings by drawing interest in the race. She's not using her voters to bargain anything. She's officially ending the race on Friday, she's conceeding and endorsing on Saturday, and she's already had a meeting with Obama in Washigton DC so everything looks positive. She's more a hands on person in tackling the issues so she's likely to want to remain NY Senator ot tackle healthcare.

Obama/Clinton'08

Hillary can work for Health Care in the Obama administration.

Hillary is not qualified (maybe overqualified) for the VP position.

Hillary does not own our votes, we are not her chips for her personal gain.

We voted, Obama won, Hillary lost,now we will stand the winner Obama.

Democrats voted for President nominee, NOT vice presidential nominee!

NOBODY VOTED FOR VICE PRESIDENT!

We may want somebody different as VICE President.

If woman is: Sebelius.

If Man: Al Gore would do ok, he he!
