Clinton bucking for VP bid? full article

Sen. Hillary Clinton says she's not out, but with rival Sen. Barack Obama securing his long-held lead, many are asking what she plans to do next...

Clinton lavished her opponent with praise, saying he ran an "extraordinary race" and made politics more palatable for many...

But with some Democrats clamoring for her to join Obama on the ticket, and with the Democratic National Convention -- and thus, the official anointment -- still more than two months out, the senator from New York gave no hint as to her plan.
