In an interview with Fox & Friends, Senator Hillary Clinton said she's unlikely to run for President again. And she says she trusts Barack Obama to take that 3 a.m. phone call!

Clinton actually discussed a range of positions: When asked to rate the possibility of her being majority leader of the Senate, she said, "Oh probably zero. I am not seeking any other position than to be the best senator from New York that I can be." Supreme Court? "Zero. I have no interest in doing that." The Presidency? "Probably close to zero. There's an old saying: Bloom where you're planted."

She also said she was disappointed in her supporters who haven't shifted their allegiance to Barack Obama, "What I have fought for - in not just my public life but going back my entire adult life - is much more in line with where Barack and Joe Biden are than where the McCain-Palin ticket is." Flashback: Januray 20, 2007, when Clinton announced she was running ("I'm in. And I'm in to win.")
