It does sound like she needs about a year off though. Someone was asking in another thread about having Bill Clinton help with the mid-terms in 2014. Well now that Hillary Clinton is out of the cabinet, she would be just as good to help get more Ds elected. We'll need all the surrogates we can get to take back the House and try for a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.
Me personally, I'm not ready to back anyone yet. I do consider myself as someone who makes up their mind early though. Just not this early.

She's not running for anything. She's probably quitting the job she does have.

She has been a great SOS. Wonder if she'll decide she has the energy to go thru a Prez campaign.

If being SoS makes her tired, I'm sure being POTUS would maker tired threefold.

Betcha a lot of male leaders are also very tired and are too "macho" to say so.
