If anyone knows that politics is about perceptions and sometimes you have to take one for the team, it's her.

At this point, either way, her career as a big-time Dem politician is probably over. She'll never be a Senator. Too many people don't like her. I'm sure she's disappointed, but those are the breaks. I'll never be a Senator either. Just bow out gracefully and then go on to what will be a lucrative private sector career. Dem donors like her, she'll be set up for life.
