Why trade a position where EW can actually have clout with economic policy as head of the Banking Committee, to a position where one has to wait for Congress to pass legislation?

That's aside from the fact that she pledged to not run, on top of saying she wasn't running dozens of times. Her constituents would not support her going back on her word, and she knows it. That's why the only visits to states that she's done are to support OTHER candidates for election, not to develop a 50 state strategy.

She's well behind the fundraising curve if she was intending to run, too. There's the big hint that she's not going to "change her mind" right there.
