Hillary Clinton VP Strategy

I've said on other blogs that I don't think Hillary would accept a VP slot, nor would she accept Obama as a running mate.  Now that she and Bill have suggested Obama join them to unite the party, it seems that Senator Obama has the same thoughts:

"I'm not running for vice president. I'm running for president of the United States of America" and commander-in-chief, Obama told a rally in Mississippi.

(Notice that the commander-in-chief portion is not within the quotation marks?  I wonder what that's about?  Creative quoting at its finest... gotta love the MSM.)

Anyway, I don't know what Senator Obama's real reasons are... they may be just as he has stated.  I do believe Hillary is too ambitious to accept a VP position on an Obama ticket.  If I'm wrong and she did decide to accept a VP slot, I agree with a lot of others that Michelle Obama had best take out some extra insurance, just in case.  Why wouldn't she pick him even though she and Bill have publicly floated just that?  Because she's also politically vindictive and sees Obama as pushing her out of turn.  She was the presumptive nominee for the Democrats for so long that she figures it's hers by right.

Offering the VP slot to Obama is political gamesmanship... I'm just not sure Senator Obama realizes how convoluted the game can really get.
