Hillary Clinton not to seek VP post

WASHINGTON - Former U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has ruled out the possibility that she would seek the vice presidential post in a Barack Obama administration.

"I am not seeking any other position," the New York senator said during her first public appearance in Washington since she suspended her campaign on June 7. "You know, it is not something that I think about. This is totally Senator Obama's decision and that's the way it should be," she told reporters at the Senate.

However, it is a U.S. political tradition for potential VP candidates to deny their intentions to seek the position but most of them would not refuse the nomination.
