I'm thrilled the president won, but one other thing is making me smile this morning

100. She would have reallocated that to her horses.

Hey, one thing - and I almost hate to be altruistic about this, but - soon enough, I suspect she may become much happier, even grateful, that her husband lost. It may actually prolong her life.

She's still got a disease that is incurable. It's only gonna get worse as she ages. I've read that stress aggravates it, and she would not have a nice quiet low-pressure life if she were First Lady. Even if HER part of it was still fairly mellow and manageable, watching what mitt would have to deal with and sudden international crises and stuff - would be pretty rough on her, I'd guess. She wouldn't have any privacy (which she'd probably come to hate), and her presence would be required at tons of public events (which she may well come to resent). That would become more difficult with time, and there might be fears of exposure if she's out in public too much, as her health and her immunity system both decline and she becomes more physically delicate and vulnerable. She may not want to spend even a few minutes shaking hands with every Tom-Dick-and-Carrie who jumps in to invade her space and get a photo of him/herself with her.

For ayn wrongney, that kind of high-pressure existence would become increasingly uncomfortable and probably even dangerous to her health. So this outcome may actually prove to be far better for her personally. I'm wondering if perhaps she senses that already.
