Hilary is simply isolating any potential threats to her next and final run for the Presidency.
It’s also taken algore out of the picture as a speaker on behalf of dem candidates in 2010. With algore out, Obama being a negative, that leaves Billy Boy and Pelosi as the national figures to speak in support of dems. Pelosi will only play on the coasts and in university towns where liberal loonies prevail and Billy is a proven liar. I feel even better about November. Hillary would have to resign as Sec of State in order to take an effective partisan role in the campaign. If she plans to run in 2012, she could resign and take an active role in 2010 but it would have to be soon.
