Confidante Explains Clinton's Thinking on Joining Obama's Ticket to TIME

“She knows that the choice is his and his alone. If he offers it to her it will be his choice and if he doesn't that will be solely his choice. Whatever he wants she will do....

She will do whatever she can and is asked to do to help elect him, but it would be be totally inappropriate for her to campaign for or seek the job. She is exhausted, she has been first lady for 8 years, she loves the Senate, and the choice is his.”
