Reverse psychology

Does Hillary Clinton (aka, the Salutatorian) really want the VP slot? Well, the New York Times finds her strenuously signaling she'll twist no arms and make no unwanted advances:

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today disavowed a campaign by some of her supporters to pressure Senator Barack Obama into choosing her as a running-mate, saying they were acting on their own and the decision on who to pick was "Senator Obama's and his alone."

No pressure, Obama. I'll be over here with my 18 million primary votes, my cabal of working -class whites and Denver-chanting women, waiting for you to make up your mind. On your own. Without my influence.
