She could, but it's a lot easier to run a national campaign without a day job.
I didn't think she'd run, back when I thought Peters was going to stay in office. Now that that's changed, I have to change my thinking.
My best guess is that it comes down to the balance of her answer on two factors. (1) How badly does she want to stick around in politics if she cannot move up? Is a sideways job change desirable or would she rather retire? Is being a career politician worth it? (2) How strongly does she rate her chance at actually getting that promotion? Is it worth the costs to seeking that promotion if she can guarantee a senate seat?
I already made one wrong guess here, so I won't try making another. But that's what I'd expect the decision points to come down to.
Those are legit considerations I would have with myself in that position. But, there is one overarching one - Say fuck it all and go for becoming the first female POTUS. If this were Deal or No Deal, this is a no deal!!!
Those of us from the SSP days know her name well. We wanted to her run for Gov in 2010 and she said no, not the time. She said it again in 2014. Both were horrible midterm year elections and she knew to not waste her shine on crappy electoral years.
That woman has a plan and is thinking the long game.
