Dana's article about the possibility of a former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton angling to be future New York Gov. Hillary Clinton isn't that far-fetched of a scenario. Personally, I think Clinton is a skilled senator, which is not a veiled suggestion that she is incapable of being a chief executive but merely an observation that she is a natural legislator.
To avoid the perception that she's office-shopping, herewith a few pointers for Clinton: First, make sure you have a reason for running other than being “in it to win it.” Second, assuming there is either a serious primary and general election opponent (a big assumption, given New York electoral politics lately), don't underestimate their challenges. Third, switch residences with Bill so you're in Chappaqua and he's spending most of his time either down at the Whitehaven house in Washington or even his apartment atop his presidential library in Little Rock…far, far from the action.
