Her moderate Democratic credentials, along with her ability to win in a state that leans Republican will help her out in a potential candidacy. She's had some significant accomplishments with issues that are important to the state, including promoting economic growth while protecting and increasing investments in health care and education and water conservation. She gets along well with most factions primarily because she promotes private-public co-opts in several policy areas, thus she doesn't offend the unions or the chamber of commerce types that might vote Republican otherwise. She doesn't seem to be making the moves to run for the Presidency, but she definitely has a chance at the VP slot, considering her accomplishments as governor.
