In another political reality...President HIllary Clinton?

I wasn't crazy about Hillary Clinton coming into New York to run in 2000 for Senator Noynihan's seat when he announced his retirement. I was a supporter of Nita Lowey who I felt would have made a great senator and is as native a New Yorker as you can get. But NYS has a history of carpetbaggers-including Robert Kennedy. I was just wondering what history would have been, if Mrs. Clinton had gone back to her home state of Illinois and run for the senate there. If she had, she would have been going after the senate seat of Peter Fitzgerald-a Republican. This was the senate seat that Barack Obama ran for and won in 2004. (Against Alan Keyes? That was a tough battle!) My theory or political irony is, that if Hillary Clinton had gone home to Illinois, instead of New York, there might not have been a Senator Obama to run against for president. Without a senator Obama, there is no President Obama and probably there would be a President Hillary Clinton. Just a though..
