Hillary Clinton Promises Return to the Senate
Following President-elect Barack Obama's victory on Tuesday night, the Clinton camp issued a press release praising the Obama campaign and Democratic gains in both the House and Senate. Amid rampant speculation as to what Clinton's role in the new administration might be, Hillary and Bill attended the reopening of the USS Intrepid, where she reiterated her intent to remain in the senate. She also commented on Obama's choice of Rahm Emmanuel for Chief of Staff. Electing not to mention previous contention between them, Clinton praised Emmanuel's vision and strategic skill. As Obama prepares to transition into his presidency, Clinton is poised to return to the Senate, where she looks to accumulate greater influence and power, perhaps positioning herself for Majority Leader after Harry Reid.

This is a smart move for Hilary. This way she is not embarrassed if she is not asked to be in Obama's addministraion, and she is allowing the Obama addministration to avoid crtisism for either playing favorites and keeping old democrats when his motto has always been "Change" while avoiding critism for not being honorable, afterall, he ows Clinton big time for lending her support, and not running on a seperate ticket. Once again, Clinton has shown how she can preserve herself, as well as her party, and perhaps the country all at the same time.
