But as has been said, I don't see how resigning will help her run for a more prestigious position later on. If this was her tactic (and maybe she tried to downplay it by breaking the news on a Friday before a holiday weekend), lying about the reason she resigned definitely won't help her gain support in possible future campaigns.

Whatever the reason, I think her explanation of not wanting to be a lame-duck politician was to conceal the real justification for wanting/needing to resign.

Yea I totally agree.

I wouldn't want to vote for someone for Senate or *eeeep* President who doesn't even have the gumption to finish her term.

I def. feel her "lame duck" thing was a cop out.

wasn't there a corruption investigation by the Fed that was gaining steam? Maybe it had something to do with that?
