Prediction: Sometime in July, Hillary Clinton will make a Shermanesque statement regarding her candidacy on the ticket as Obama's running mate. Something on the order of "I have contacted Sen. Obama to let him know that I am categorically not interested in a spot on the 2008 ticket, and will not accept if asked."
This will be a face-saving move for her as she faces the fact that Obama doesn't want her on the ticket—probably even coordinated by Hillary and the Obama campaign. And it will begin the process of letting the Hillary supporters down slowly, before the convention. They have to be comfortable with this idea before then, else there'll be backlash and disappointment during the big show in Denver when someone else is named as running-mate, and that won't be good PR.
