Thus would only have functioned as a placeholder. Is that true? Now it seems she's changed that to saying she'll run. Did she have her eye on the governorship?

Even if she were really gung-ho to be in the Senate, she's still coming in as low man on the totem pole. A novice who will have to learn on the job, gain experience, establish relationships. Oh well! Maybe after eight years she'll be the force Al Franken was.
