"besides, call me a pollyanna, but i don't think that hillary would take the governorship of ny and bail in year two. she's a lot of things, but she knows how that would look."
I'd never call u a pollyanna dude but if Obama doesn't pick up Hillary this time out, she should make a b-line to Albany. It's the path of least resistance if it happens this year. A governorship of a state boasting mega-electoral votes in nothing at which to thumb one's nose.
It would position Hillary perfectly if Obama drops the ball this year at 3rd and goal. She'd be overwhelmingly re-elected as Gov of NY in 2010 and sitting pretty to spring into action again for POTUS in 2012 replete with an "i told you so smile". The Dems will maintain a majority in both houses this year anyway so the US Senate is now old hat for her.
She needs executive experience on her resume, same as Obama does now. Mitt Romney is already on the attack digging at Obama with "POTUS is not a White House internship".
No need to worry though, Hillary is far more clever than I am in all things political.
