If Hillary doesn't win the nomination, what will she do?...

[Al Federfer]

Will she run again for Senate? Look for a cabinet post or Ambassadorship? Retire and do the speaking rounds, like Bill does? I really have no idea what she might do, but it seems rather unlikely that she's stay in government, or run again in 2012.

1. The only reason she ever ran for the Senate was to prep for a presidential run

If she doesn't become prez, she'll probably serve out her current term, then go do something else.

20. Proof?

Link? Quote? Thanks in advance! :hi:

2. What Senator Clinton will do is:

Immediately endorse whoever DOES win the nomination and then campaign her ass off to get him elected POTUS.

Then she'll run for re-election to her NY Senate seat.

5. I doubt she'll be pressed into campaigning heavily

Nobody wants to be saddled with her negatives.

11. Her "negatives" are actually A LOT LOWER than you think

Senator Clinton's positives are very high, her negatives are pretty low.

IF she doesn't win the nomination, the nominee will be desparate to have her campaign for him.

7. That's what I think, too. n/t

13. Oh well I knew you'd

Agree ;)

12. Cool :) n/t

[tammywammy]

18. I agree

But then that seemed obvious to me. Of course she would then support whomever did get the nomination and run for re-election in the Senate.

Sometimes, I've noticed, DU needs the obvious spelled out for them. :)

4. She will likely serve out her Senate term.

I am unsure if she would run for reelection again.

I doubt she would run for Prez again.

[tammywammy]

19. "I doubt she would run for Prez again."

I think it would depend on who wins the election. If the dems win, then yeah I don't think that she'd run again. But if a repub wins, I could possibly see her running again for 2012...or not. Who knows really? Let's wait until February and see who gets the nod first. :)

9. If God decided He/She/It didn't exist,

would He/She/It still exist?

:crazy:

[Blashyrkh]

10. She won't have to worry about it.

[...of J.Temperance]

15. Because she IS going to win the nomination

Hillary ROCKS....she is unstoppable!

Hillary will be # 44 as well.

[Blashyrkh]

16. Indeed. Forgive me for not sharing your enthusiasm at the prospect though.

[MiniMe]

14. She still has 4 years left on her Senate term

I wouldn't expect her to make any immediate changes.

[mitchum]

17. The answer my friend: is blowing in the wind

[WI_DEM]

21. Why not? Barry Goldwater, Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern

and Teddy Kennedy all ran again for the Senate after losing the election or nomination.

[ShortnFiery]

22. Perhaps her and the rest of the leadership of the DLC will ...

switch parties and become republicans a la Goldwater tradition? :shrug:
