Madame Hillary is far from ready to quit. She is still in the race for herself. If the VP slot works for her in the long term, she'll take it. If not, she will manipulate the situation and personalities to her advantage. Machiavelli in a dress (or rather a pant suit). I have never cared for her philosophies, tactics or personality, but I take my hat off to her: she behaves like a pure egoist, even if she can never admit it to herself. Senator Clinton is Ayn Rand's Dagny Taggar incarnate. Minus the scruples.
