Meaning she won't be pushing any faith based initiatives. Nor, hopefully, would she be viewed as pursuing a religious war. Can't say the same for Shrub.
As for personal grievances, I have no idea where she ranks compare to the other dems, but I haven't seen any evidence it has affected her Senatorial performance. Again, I can't say the same thing about Shrub and his personal problems affecting his presidential performance. Nor his performance as Gov. of Texas.
