I believed her the first time - I don't know why no one else does.
I believed her too and still do. However, I get the impression that people are making the argument that she's the Republican Party's best hope and that she should consider it. Not for hersoff, but for the country. I think that they're still trying to convince her.
Is there any point at which she has said she will not accept the #2 slot on the ticket?
It's because we're sometimes dreamers. "Wouldn't it be great if..." is fun to play with, but that all it is. It's just play. I like to dream of a Franks/Rice ticket, but I know it ain't gonna happen.
