"I would run if I believe that other candidates willing to put themselves forward in the name of public service, if they don't have a shot at winning, I would offer myself up," she added.
On the prospect of preparing for the primaries, she said: "I'm looking at the lay of the land now, and trying to figure that out -- if it's a good thing for the country, for the discourse, for my family, if it's a good thing."
Asked if she could beat Obama, she said: "I believe so."
