She hasn't left the fold, and won't. They've given her 
a pass, I'm sure, which they're always willing to do for 
any given loyal lackey from time to time, as long as 
there are enough aisle-crossers left to give 'em a 
majority. 

Hillary is such a valuable asset that they don't want her 
to have to take any unnecessary heat until she's safely 
ensconced in her husband's former chair. -- Well, maybe 
she'll use a different chair.
