Hillary does not really want to be VP, she wants to be president and has begun her next campaign. She knows where the vice presidency leads and she also knows the votes her rejection for the "earned" veep spot will garner. She has set herself up to be victimized.

Hillary as victim to acquire votes in the future? How cynical. How true. How politics.

The question is whether this strategy takes her anywhere if Barack Obama wins the presidency. If he does not, she is poised to strike again.
