Personally I will find this entire convention fascinating from an H-Rod point of view. She wants to be, above and beyond all else, the President. She can't do that in 2008, and she knows it. However, she's what...60? So, she also knows that if Obama wins, he will be heavily favored (as all incumbents are) to repeat, so she'll be 68 and probably up against an incumbent VP for the nomination 8 years from now, with the original ClinTon presidency being a distant memory. Obama, of course, knows all of this too. Soooooo...what does she do? What role will she play? The Clintons have been the power brokers of the Dems for 15 years now...can't see them taking a bakc seat without a fight...but...she's expected to help Obama win. What's she going to do? How is she going to do it? Will she damn him with the proverbial faint praise? Make no mistake...he needs her voters to win...and she knows it.
