Whether that's her goal or not, she's smart enough to know she doesn't have the power to sabotage Obama's bid. The only thing she can do in her own best interests is to maintain her status in the Democratic party and bide her time. That's best done by putting on a happy face and campaigning as hard as possible for Barack.
As big an ego as she's got, I bet she's even self-aware enough to know she doesn't have the power to tilt the election his way, so she's really got nothing to lose and everything to gain by appearing to do her party-loyal best.
She's been given a golden ticket to do that more in the public eye by being a perfect foil for McCain's chosen ticket-mate. She'd be stupid to pass that up, and she's anything but stupid.
