With the exception of being very disappointed, I think her state of mind is just fine. I didn't see any irregular face twitching or uncontrolled manic laughter. Just someone trying to keep a smile on their face, while being disappointed inside.
And as far as her "burning desire for the Presidency," since when is that a bad thing? Personally, I like seeing determination in a person. And just because she is determined, it doesn't seem reason enough to start painting her as if she is some sinister character in a political novel.
If McCain wins, two things happen - First, Hillary almost certainly runs again in four years. And second, the country is subjected to another four years of Republican policies. And that likely means a severe shifting of balance on the Supreme Court, not to mention all of the other impending damage that four more years of failed policies would mean. Hillary understands that the implications of the latter outweigh the gains of the former.
Hillary realizes that this was her best chance, and that part is sure to be eating at her. But she also understands that it is imperative that a Democrat get elected, if things like Roe V Wade are important to her, or alternative energy, or health care, or anything else she holds dear. And were she to sabotage the Obama campaign, it would inflict far more damage than any positive gains. She isn't that stupid.
I would like to see her gain a cabinet position. And who knows, maybe Biden will only stick around for 4 years, then she could slip into the VP role and be ready for 2016. I don't know. What I do know is that she's not this bloodthirsty vampire that she is made out to be. And even if she were, she still isn't stupid.
