An unlikely comeback for KKT

As Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign winds down, the prospects of a cabinet post relaunching the political career of Kathleen Kennedy Townsend look less and less likely.

So where else could she re-emerge on the political scene? One major newspaper suggests it's in the U.S. Senate.
