Funny how language works: "Nor do I care very much for your race." In another context, from another person that could mean something completely different and highly offensive.

Surely the point of having Clinton as VP wouldn't be to add something to an Obama presidency. It would be that doing this might increase his chances of making it to the White House in the election. At least that would be the idea. Of course it might work the other way...

If Cliton does win the race, why wouldn't Obama accept the offer? This rivalry between them is genuine enough, insofar as they both want the same job (and probably think that they would do it better), but there's not that much difference between them on issues. And the chances are that her VP would be first in line to be put forward to replace her when she's done, because it always seems to work out that way.
