Of COURSE this is the intention! How can Beam miss it? Everyone knows Obama is young and could run in eight years, whereas this is her last chance. IF I was undecided (or was a superdelegate in need of a rational for supporting her!) this might do the trick. It's a smart move, and I don't think we've heard her "suggest" it for the last time.

Ultimately, I think she'd only choose him as a running mate if she absolutely had to, and there's virtually no chance she'd run with Obama as the head of the ticket.
