15. It would seem to give Clinton leverage with Obama b/c she
can always threaten to return to the Senate and make all kinds of problems for him. Kennedy would have shut off that option.

The Clintons keep a senate seat open for Hillary and payback two more Obama supporters (Caroline and Ted Kennedy) who did not chose Queen Hillary over Obama. They also get another favor they can cash in when Clinton runs for Bill's third term again. They sure did get a lot of bang for their buck.

The NY Gov probably struck a deal in return for a nice paying corporate job after his Gov gig is over. Oh I forgot - only the IL Gov engages in such deals. I wonder if the IL fiasco has made the Obama team shy about striking any deals while letting the Clinton crew go into overdrive?
