She will be Chief of Staff for whoever will be the VP nominee. Given her acrimonious dismissal from the Clinton campaign, does this make Hillary less likely as VP?

“Patti will be an asset and good addition to the Obama campaign. After nearly two decades in political life, she brings with her the ability to tap an extensive network that will be a huge asset to Senator Obama. As Senator Clinton has said, we’re all going to do our part to help elect Senator Obama as the next President of the United States," said spokesman Mo Elleithee.

They have this on SFgate:
"After This "(Expletive) You" to Hillary, Forget Clinton as VP
Joe Garofoli
Buried in a list of new appointments the Obama campaign announced Monday was this: "Chief of Staff to the Vice Presidential Nominee: Patti Solis Doyle."
Remember Patti? She was Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, until she got canned in February...er, left the campaign. Here's a good backgrounder on her departure from "Hillaryland" -- a term, which apparently she coined.
The reaction from Hillarylard. A Clinton insider told CQ: "Translated subtitles aren't necessary. There is no other way to interpret this other than '[Expletive] you.'"
Yeah, yeah, so this is inside-baseball stuff, right? Not really. If PSD is Obama's czarina of Vice Presidential Nominee, then guess who probably isn't going to get the nod? Uh-huh. And some of Hillary's peeps are p.o'd. Like San Francisco's own Susie Tompkins Buell. She told the Washington Post:
"It's a slap in the face," Buell said. "Why would they put somebody that was so clearly ineffective in such a position? It's a message. We get it." She said it was a "calculated decision" by the Obama team to "send a message that she [Clinton] is not being considered for the ticket."
Indeed. Even though Patti's farewell statement from Hillaryland said, "I have been proud to manage this campaign, and prouder still to call Hillary my friend for more than sixteen years," apparently the two haven't spoken since.
Here's the other new Obama hires, should anyone else care to drop any expletives as part of their analysis:
Constituency Director: Brian Bond - formerly LGBT Outreach Director at the DNC
National Field Director: Jon Carson - formerly Obama for America Voter Contact Director
Senior Advisor to the Campaign and Chief of Staff to Michelle Obama - Stephanie Cutter
Industrial States Regional Director: Paul Diogardi - formerly Political Director for the Democratic Governor's Association.
Battleground States Director: Jen O'Malley Dillon - formerly Iowa State Director for John Edwards for President
Chief of Staff to the Vice Presidential Nominee - Patti Solis Doyle
Latino Vote Director: Temo Figueroa - formerly Obama for America National Field Director
First Americans Vote Director- Wizipan Garriott
Northeast Regtional Director: Eureka Gilkey - formerly Obama for America Deputy Political Director
50-State Voter Registration Director: Jason Green - formerly Obama for America political and field staff
Campaign Chief of Staff: Jim Messina - formerly Chief of Staff to Senator Max Baucus
LGBT Vote Director: Dave Noble - formerly of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
West Regional Director: Matt Rodriguez - formerly Obama for America New Hampshire State Director
Senior Advisor: Michael Strautmanis
African American Vote Director: Rick Wade"
