I think this is a good move.
Now, I think Clinton would have been a poor choice for President; I didn't agree with many of her domestic policies. And during the campaign, she behaved in a way that made me dislike her personally.
And I think that her track record as a Senate Democrat has been mediocre - to below average. She is not good in that position, nor is she good as an executive.
However, she's good at two things: Being the public face, and banking on goodwill for Bill Clinton's foreign policy. I think this is a role that she'd be very good at. It also gets her out of the Senate and opens up the Democratic safe-seat of New York to a possibly stronger Senate presence.
