I also think it would be the least likely and worst path to the Presidency for her. If Kerry puts her on the ticket and they win, then she's looking at at least 8 years before she even gets a shot. And that's assuming that things go well enough for a re-election and then the second term will be strong enough to put her in as President, which I think would be a big risk. If they lost the second term, then she's knocked out for at least 4 years before she can make another go and would still have to deal with whatever issues cost them the second term.
If they lost this time, she could still make a go in '08, but then she's got the loss hanging over her, plus the possibility of pissing off her constituents in NY that she's promised she won't be running this time. And I still think her worst nightmare would be that he'd add her to the ticket this time and they'd win.
Just seems like it would be a lose-lose situation for what she wants to do, either way. Of course, that's assuming we even know exactly what she wants to do. Never can tell.
