...Report. Don Mitchell, a Democratic attorney and historian, calls Palin an instinctive politician whose talents rival Ronald Reagan's, and he thinks she could beat Murkowski - but he predicts that Palin would find the Senate a poor fit for her disposition. "She'd have to come in like Hillary Clinton, put her celebrity aside and work hard at getting respected," he says. "I can't see her doing that...
What becomes now of Hillary Clinton? Will she run again for President? Make a bid for Senate majority leader? Go home to New York and run for governor?

I caught up with her four days before the election, between stops in Ohio, where she was stumping for Obama in precincts that she won decisively during the Democratic primary. She also continued to work at the unfinished business left over from her presidential bid, starting with a $25.2 million campaign debt. She has whittled it down to about $2.6 million, depending on how you count. That figure does not include the $13 million...
