Jim Webb on Being asked to be VP: I'm not really Interested. That's all I want to say.
The Hill asked the 97 other Senators if they'd accept an offer to be the vice presidential nominee, and managed to get responses from everyone

3. I'm not sure necessarily that's what they all say
They sidestep the question, say it would be an honor, but thats the nominee's decision, I dont know...blah, blah blah. If they are running for President still, they say no even if eventually they would

2. Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) sez:
Tap my foot once or twice and meet me in my stall and we'll talk about it.

8. Bill Nelson seems so sure of his response, but I would agree with just the first half.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.)

“If Hillary’s the nominee, Barack will be the running mate. If Barack’s the nominee, Hillary will be the running mate. That’s my answer.”
