We all know she's not there to "serve", but as a stepping stone. If the next step is taken away, what reason does she have for being there?
Her influence, such as it is, is based solely on being Mrs. Bill, and the NextPrez.
If she can't be the NextPrez, and Bill's in the ashcan (where he belongs), then she has no purpose, and will graduate to some law firm, possibly as a widow or divorcee.
And do what? Being a senator may not be as good as being president, but to her it's still better than being a private citizen. She'll keep her seat.
You have to remember that the republicans intentionally set her up....not having anyone really run against her for two senator elections. She really didn’t have the experience she thinks...because of the non-sweat races there. If Rudy G woke and decided to run in the next senator race against her....I’d have doubts that she could could out-argue Rudy G in a debate. I also think she wouldn’t pull that much cash in...from the state level.
When you look at the substantial amount of cash she used up over twelve months....to lose like this....it really shows a immature campaign effort.
