Reply #76: ...and he never ran for President again, [View All]

so, yeah. Let's face it, Hillary wants the presidency, not to be relegated to the Senate for the rest of her life. If she does this, there will be no 2012 run for her, or if it is, it won't be pretty since she will be seen as the spoiler. Maybe not to you, but to the other half of the Democratic party, forgiveness would be years away if they believe she caused Obama's loss.

Plus, I would argue that Ted's family name and his connections to his home state provided him some insulation from the fallout that might've occurred otherwise. Hillary doesn't have the same luxury.
