We have to face the fact that either she will be the nominee (with the backing of the media) OR the Rats will nominate someone who is even better at this centirst malarkey, like Evan Bayh.
I don't care how moderate a democrat is or how much they pretend to be, the fact is that they will be drawing from a liberal pool for cabinet appointments. I think this should be a central question to all of the rats: list some acceptable nominees for Justice, State, and Defense. The answers will tell the tale.
I hope you're right re: Senate race. However, I think she's just arrogant enough and greedy enough to hang on to the access and contributions that come with the position. Both she and Bill have that inability to do what is a wiser choice whenever it involves their ego (in Bill's case) or greed (in her case).
We shall see.....
