I've heard that line before

CNN - Obama tells Letterman he's not in race for VP
Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday dismissed the notion he might consider accepting the No. 2 spot on the 2008 ballot -- with Hillary Rodham Clinton at the top.

"You don't run for second. I don't believe in that," the Illinois senator said on "Late Night with David Letterman."
As I recall, then-Senator John Edwards said the exact same thing when he ran in 2004 and where did he end up? The No. 2 spot on the Democratic ticket. Of course he is going to say that he's not running for VP and right now he's not. He thinks he has a pretty good shot at the No. 1 spot and he very well might. It really would have been news worthy if he had said anything other than what he said. This, however, is really not news.
