I'm not suggesting that she would retreat to the kitchen baking cookies but she could do something a lot more lucrative than being in the senate which doesn't give her much power. They are about $$$$ and power.
I knew a kid who went as a summer intern to Kay Bailey Hutchison and she said the senators' hours are looooooog: starting with breakfast meetings about 7 a.m. and going to 10 p.m. or later at night.
Not enough power!
Somebody as corrupt as Hillary will figure out how to make a great deal of money as Senator. Remember the cattle-futures bonanza and Whitewater when Bill was just Governor of Arkansas.
As a Senator, she has access to all sorts of inside information that large investors would just LOVE to hear about
