WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton has told congressional colleagues she would be open to becoming Barack Obama's vice presidential nominee, saying she would consider it if it would help Democrats win the White House. Clinton, a New York senator, made the comment on a conference call with other New York lawmakers Tuesday, according a participant on the call.

The senator's remarks came in response to a question from Democratic Rep. Nydia Velazquez who said she believed the best way for Obama to win over key voting blocs, including Hispanics, would be for him to choose Clinton as his running mate.

"I am open to it," Clinton replied, if it would help the party's prospects in November.

THe motivation they will have is not even comparable to the motivation we have (almost zilch)....regardless who our VP is. They will win in a landslide.

Fox just read the EXACT word for word transcript of the conference call where she said this.

She is doing what she always does, making this about herself, being the controller, the decider...I guess you just don't want to hear that she said this.

If it ends up being Obama/Clinton, you can stick this in McCain because he's done:

When you addd this with the wild speculation that there is a “bombshell video” about to be release by those nasty republicans, as per a highly placed CLINTON supporter, and you have the perfect storm

he has to agree or SHE releases the tape and they both lose (or he implodes and she gets it)

This is the clintonistas at their best!

Rutroh! I do not like this development. BHO may not live long in office, but the two of them on one ticket could give them the election.

This is not good. I was hoping her ego and hopes for 2012, would keep her out of the veep slot. Without her, McCain would slaughter Obama, with her I don’t know. Not good.

Translation: I want to be president so I need to be vice president under Obamanure until January 20, 2011 when Obamanure has an accident that results in a state funeral.

This may have been the reason for the rumors about the Michelle Obama tape. Blackmail by Hillary to get the VP slot. When I read that Bob Beckel was promoting this tape, I figured it was a Clinton ploy.

Do people think before they believe everything they hear and read?

Exactly! Are we the only people on earth who fully understand Clinton Inc.?

I was just listening to Beckel's Bombshell video http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=106583 and during that clip Beckel says Obama does not want Hitlary as V.P. She wouldn't force herself on him would she?
