A D.C.-based paper asked all 97 senators if they'd agree to be vice president.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole had this to say to The Hill:

"I'm running for reelection to the United States Senate and that's what I'm totally focused on. I'm running a strong campaign for the Senate. That's my answer."

And Sen. Richard Burr had this to say:

"I don't answer that question anymore. I answered it one time and it got me in tremendous trouble. I've got a job I enjoy and I'm not in search of a new job. Period."
