That $250,000 doesn't just apply to personal income, as it also applies to small businesses too. Any lower wage earner working for such companies would do well to not vote for those tax increases either.

If McCain wins, then she could try again in 4 years, but it's always harder to beat an incumbent.

If Obama wins she'll have to wait 8 years. She would be running as a 68-69 year old. Voters don't tend to vote for presidential candidates that are older people or women. She'd be facing a 2-category challenge in that regard. Her window is/was 2008 and 2012. 2016 probably only as an incumbent.
