I don't think there's really anything new about it, though she's being more overt.
My thinking on it is the same as always -- I think he doesn't want to, but recognizes the need to respect Hillary supporters and wants to tread carefully. What I've said is that there may be some sort of pro forma asking and answering that is carefully hammered out ahead of time -- Obama asks, she says thank you very much but actually I think I'd prefer to be a senator and [insert stuff about the fine, important work of senators here, probably with a reference to Teddy Kennedy], Obama gracefully accepts her decision, and then someone else is chosen as VP.
There is some slight chance of the "team of rivals" thing happening -- the whole pragmatist angle -- but I still really don't think so.
