Here is the bigger problem for the dems. Hillary on committees, and is still in a powerful seat. They better be working on getting her defeated as soon as possible in her seat because she thrives on vengeance.
The feeling on the Hill is that, at 61, this was her shot. Thoughts are 50/50 that she will stay in Senate and fight for 2012, or resign, form a Foundation, make $20 mil a year herself, without Bill, live a life free to be with her own “friends.”
