She is better off as senator

I finally saw the Hillary Clinton I hoped for during the primaries. Her address to the Democratic convention on Tuesday was powerful, witty, to the point and politically savvy.
I was thrilled listening to it, something that did not happen a single time when I followed the primaries. She strongly supported Barack Obama's bid for the presidency, but discreetly brought the democrats' attention to issues he may not be addressing as directly as she would like.
She also showed bright rhetoric when she began mentioning John McCain, saying he is a friend and has served the nation with valour, just to begin pointing out what are, in her opinion, the reasons why he should not be elected. Sounded to me like she was using McCain's very weapon of heartfelt sincerity against him.
She was more confident than ever, and more powerful too. I am very happy to see that she is going to be a driving force in the Senate during the next term, regardless of who is sworn in.
It was just sad to see that she could not find her full force until she was bowing out of the election.
Oh well, I guess that is it. Hillary Clinton is just better off as a senator.
