25. I hardly think it's conspiracy theory.

First, exactly whom would she be 'conspiring with'? At best you can say I'm imputing extra motivations to her that you don't.

But I'm sure there were other seats going to come open around the country that year. All I'm saying is that Clinton is a savvy person, and deliberately chose the seat to run for that she felt would give her the most power. And money is power too.

So McCaskill's 'well gosh, any Senator from NY would cozy up to Wall Street' schtick falls flat for me. Hillary didn't just 'happen' to run for that seat - she no doubt gave the same thought and care to that 'hard choice' as she did to every other major turning point in her life. And she would not be so politically naive that she wouldn't have seen the advantages to her career to be had by having Wall Street as her 'constituency'.
