A lot of her backers thought she had a good shot of being reelected. Which would keep her from being a lame duck. -- nm - the liioulu with grackle Jul 5, 14:14 2
- kind of hard to get reelected if you don't run, which she had apparently decided not to do... -- nm - znufrii Jul 5, 14:15 1
  - There's the rub. This was before she made that decision. - the liioulu with grackle Jul 5, 14:19
by that logic, nobody would ever run for reelection or take a second term for anything -- nm - dug Jul 5, 13:34 3
- Well, running for re-election would make her not a lame duck. - psilotum Jul 5, 14:20
- actually, that wouldn't be an entirely bad thing... -- nm - znufrii Jul 5, 13:35 1
  - Well, you'd burn through the list of willing politicians very quickly. - Beryllium Jul 5, 14:34
