Did Hillary ever volunteer to be Obama's VP?
I thought at one stage she might be hinting at it?

1. She was pandering to African American voters in Mississippi
"you can vote for me and get a twofur" (meaning she would put Obama on as VP)...

subtext is quite insulting... "uppity blacks ought not to reach too high, but we can bring one in from the fields and make him a house *, if that will make you happy. It's all you really deserve."

The message is made clear by the context. Obama is leading her in every category (well, unless you decide that states where Obama won are insignificant) and she offers HIM the VP (backhanded at that).

It didn't work so they dropped it. It was only a ploy for Mississippi.

2. She said she would consider it.
I don't have a link - I heard it on msnbc this morning.

4. She doesn't have a snowball's chance of having it offered.
