Former president Bill Clinton made a stop by the set of "The View" today, and while chatting with the ladies he revealed that his wife, Hillary, never wanted to be vice president. However, he added that she would have agreed to joined the ticket as Obama's runningmate, had he actually asked her.

When asked if Hillary wanted to be VP, Clinton said, "Not really, no... she didn't. And I had no real opinion I think it's very important, once a party gets a nominee, it's a very personal decision who should be vice president."

Cliton said that he liked Senator Biden "a lot", and that he thinks "he was a good choice." However, he added that Hillary would have been the better choice in another way:

"[Hillary] would have been the best [choice] politically, at least in the short run, because of her enormous support in the country," he said.

"She didn't want it?" Barbara Walters questioned Clinton.

Bill Clinton responded:

"Not particularly. She said that 'if [Obama] asks I'll do it, because it's my duty.'

She loves being a senator from New York and she has more freedom to develop her positions on the issues and her things."

Walters then proceded to ask Clinton if he thought the reason Obama didn't want his wife as his VP was because "he didn't want you in the bargain."

Ever the politician, Clinton responded: "I don't know the answer to that. I think he felt more comfortable with another choice. And you have to respect that."

Of course this did not satisfy Walters, who continued to press the issue, asking, "Was it because he didn't want you along?"

Clinton retorted: "I have no idea. If anybody thought that, they were just reading the political press and believing it. I wouldn't have been in this race if Hillary hadn't run."

Delving into politics even further, Clinton was also asked if he believed that sexism played a role in this year's race, and not just with his wife, but also with the GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

"I think there is some of it, but a lot of it is almost subconscious. That maybe makes it more insidious," said Clinton.
