and House committees that oversaw healthcare at a distance. This included people like Ted Kennedy. This was likely bad both in terms of policy - their collective memory was of many things that did not work and some that were promising - and in getting votes. None of them felt any ownership. (Remember Democrats controlled both branches.)

That might not have mattered if the plan was accepted as good by all , but it wasn't. The fact that she had not even one supporter on the Finance committee - not even Bill Bradley - says something.

In some ways she STILL had the tendency to keep just to her inner circle as SoS. There were many times that Lugar complained that neither she or anyone high in the State Department was willing to come before the committee other than when she had to each year with the budget.

That won't hurt getting elected, but it might signal that she would not work well with Congress.
