9:50PM EST: MSNBC reports: Hillary Clinton met late Thursday with Barack Obama, a day after saying she would end her quest for the Democratic nomination and endorse the Illinois senator.
A senior Obama campaign official confirmed to NBC News that Obama delayed his departure from Washington Thursday night to meet with Clinton at her DC home.
Earlier, Clinton had disavowed efforts by some supporters who have urged Obama to choose her as his running mate.
“She is not seeking the vice presidency, and no one speaks for her but her,” communications director Howard Wolfson said. “The choice here is Senator Obama’s and his alone.”
Clinton was planning an event in Washington Saturday to thank supporters and urge them to back Obama’s candidacy. But as she was bowing out of the race, supporters in Congress and elsewhere were ramping up a campaign to pressure him to put her on the ticket in the No. 2 spot.
Clinton has told other friends and supporters she would be willing to be Obama’s running mate. But her immediate task is bringing her own presidential bid to a close.

They say that in the time of Mashiach, Yishmael and Esuv will unite.. Barack Hussein Obama and Clinton?!? Could it be? — We should all merit to see the coming of Mashiach, speedily in our days and the whole world should recognize Hashem as supreme ruler.
He better not take her. Thats probably the only chance McCain has to beet him, if he’s alone.
