What are the chances that Hillary still refusing to actually concede while letting it be known that she's open to being offered the VP slot does so because she knows Obama will never stoop to offer her a place on the ticket and so as a consequence she'll come off looking somewhat reasonable and conciliatory and he somewhat, well, not nice? I don't believe for a second either of them wants her as VP and I don't really see how it could work if it were to actually come about - sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, especially when you factor in Bill - but if you look at it she's kind of got him in a box, no? There's very little that separates them as far as delegates and popular vote goes, she's done much better than him over the last month or so, and she's indicated she'd be open to the idea - how can he not offer it to her? Hard to know what she's thinking, but if you assume there's no way in hell she wants to be his VP, kind of makes sense that she's sucker punched him here. [the sucker punch of all sucker punches would be if spurned by Obama she accepts a place on the ticket with McCain - of course that's pure fantasy but, my god, wouldn't it be fun to watch?]
