chibi_trillianClinton indicates that she's open to the idea of being Obama's VP.
Drag the primaries out to the end, divide the party, rile up your supporters to the point where they'll vote for McCain if you lose the nomination, and use that bloc of irrational, unthinking voters as a bludgeon to force a man who doesn't like you very much into making you the second-most-powerful politician in the US. Essentially, Clinton may have lost the battle, but she's won the war. I wouldn't surprise me if she's been planning this since Obama first started getting a serious lead on her.
Well-manipulated indeed. Machiavelli would approve.
