I suspect if she runs for anything it will be for a House seat. Currently she lives in Manhattan, but I wouldn't be surprised to see her run in the Arkansas 2nd which includes Little Rock. That's the most competitive of the AR seats; the Republican, Tim Griffin, won by about 40,000 votes last November out of about 280,000 ballots cast. Griffin took the seat in the 2010 Republican landslide and held it in 2012. Depending on how stupidly the Republicans in Congress behave, he might be vulnerable in 2014. The district does not
look especially
gerrymandered compared to many of the Republican seats after reapportionment. The Democrats controlled the governorship and the state legislature when the lines were drawn, though they won none of the four seats in 2012.
My other First Family prediction is a Michelle Obama run for the Senate from Iillinois in 2020. Dick Durbin might be ready to retire by then, and both Obama daughters will no longer be living at home.
