The answer may emerge soon as the failed Democratic presidential contender gets ready to finally concede defeat -- amid signals she might like to be the vice presidential running mate of presumptive White House nominee Barack Obama.
"The clock is ticking," said Paul Light of New York University's Center for the Study of Congress. He said she must quickly end her presidential campaign or face party backlash.
"But if she withdraws gracefully, she will have an enormous range of opportunities," Light said. "She could eventually become a Senate leader or end up on the Supreme Court."
Others have suggested she might want to be New York governor -- or make another run for the White House in 2012 if Republican John McCain defeats Obama in the general election.
