what is even MORE baffling is that she gave up her Senate seat to be a part of his administration. Surely she KNEW she was making a deal with Lucifer himself! Surely she KNEW that she would get lost in the shadow behind him.
My guess would be that she felt he would fall flat on his ass, and a stint as Secretary of State would enhance her resume for a run against him in 2012. Not to mention getting worldwide contacts would give her a much better chance to take advantage of her position, much more so than as a Senator. She’s in it for Hillary, pure and simple.
IMHO, a win by her would not have been anywhere nearly as empowering for the conservative cause as has been, and will be, the spectacle The One is making of his core. Very few people could foresee the disaster he is proving to be. Granted a LOT of us here on FR saw it coming, but most were just blinded by his aura.
