After effectively losing to Senator Barack Obama in the Democratic nomination race, Senator Hillary Clinton is pondering her next move.

Clinton said Tuesday night she will let her supporters and party leaders decide her course.

"Now, the question is: Where do we go from here?" she asked supporters gathered at New York's Baruch College.

Even as some Democrats clamoring for her to join Obama on the ticket, and with the Democratic National Convention still more than two months away, the senator from New York has so far given no hint as to her plan.

New York Senator Hillary Clinton speaks at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference in Washington, US, June 4, 2008.

Even the White House seemed convinced of Obama's victory. White House press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday that President George W. Bush congratulated Obama on becoming the first black presidential nominee from a major party.

Obama and Clinton spoke by phone for a few minutes Wednesday.

He told her he wants to "sit down when it makes sense" for her, said Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Clinton said that would happen soon, Gibbs said, but he also said Obama did not raise the issue of the vice presidency.

Clinton's campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe also confirmed there had been "absolutely zero discussions" on the matter.
