But Hillary has a motto. When the going gets tough -- just KEEP GOING. It has been working throughout her life like the energizer bunny on steroids.

There she is - astonishingly shut out from her White House dream -- then - having wrested a possible VP spot from the jaws of defeat - only to see that one dashed as well - but who's smiling now?

First of all, who wants to be in the White House now anyway!
While the President and his VP face Americans who are so disgruntled that some of them even want to string people who got bonuses up with piano wire - she's hobnobbing with foreign leaders and looking Presidential.

This is not to say that she doesn't have a tough job.

The world is a pretty tricky place these days. Our allies are in the economic dust as well. Our enemies are taking advantage of our distress to get their weapons up to speed. And who would've thought that our neighbor to the South - our ol' compadre Mexico - could pose perhaps the most immediate threat to our borders.

It's a good time to be a fairly hawkish Democrat who is not inclined to sit down with our enemies without some of those "pre-conditions" in your back pocket.

So perhaps HRC is pretty pleased that things worked out the way they did. Her passport is getting dogeared - but her resume? Not too shabby.
