Obama Won't Settle for VP

Obama told KTVQ in Billings, Mont., Friday: “You won’t see me as a vice presidential candidate.”

“I’m running for president,” he told the television station. “We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote, and I think we can maintain our delegate count — but you know, what I’m really focused on right now, because all that stuff is premature, is winning this nomination and changing the country.”

With Obama in the lead, I think it's a little weird to ask if he'd agree to run as VP.

Hillary has to decide if her ego could handle being in the second spot on the ticket. That question is more suited to her standing in the race.

If Obama does win the nomination, I don't think he'd consider choosing Hillary to be his VP. I get the feeling he's the type to hold a grudge, plus Michelle would never give her blessing.
