You're right, Ebbie. She'd probably see it as being put out to pasture.   Something possibly for later, not now. Of course, Roberts is considerably younger than she is. But his whole career has been the law.

However, if she thinks after the campaign she has run, and continues to run, that she has any chance to ever be the Democratic presidential candidate again, she is sadly deluded. As I've mentioned before, she had plenty of chances to withdraw gracefully, throwing her support to Obama--and thereby set herself up for the future.   But her "bitter end" approach has sealed her fate as far as presidential politics is concerned.    There are already a lot of Democratic pols who feel the Clintons have been only looking out for #1 from the start. And who remember 1994--and the very slow recovery since then---not helped by Bill's lack of self-control. The Reagan parallel does not hold--he at least was nowhere near as divisive in 1976--making racist appeals, even--as she has been. And the collapse of her campaign, from undisputed front-runner, has been stunning.

NY Senator perhaps--though even there she now has problems.   For instance the pathetic excuse she made for the loss of jobs since 2000--she assumed Gore would be elected--is now widely known. At least she doesn't have to run again til 2012. A lot could happen in that time.

And possibly, if re-elected as NY Senator, Majority Leader eventually--if Obama wins in November.
