The cyber era will produce new players. My pick is Sen Gillibrand (D-NY) vs former senator/male model of Massachusetts, Scott Brown.

(13,390 posts)I think she has been a very strong positive influence and advocate for us. 8 yrs. first lady 8 yrs. in the Senate and 4 yrs. Sec. of state.
After 20 yrs. of political service. I would hope she would feel like she has "done her part."
Sec. is a particularly exhausting. I would think she would be ready for a slower pace. Maybe 4 yrs. off will be so reinvigorating that she is hungry for it- maybe not.
Most people want to retire at some point because they are ready to slow their pace.
We'll have to see what she decides.
