I disagree. This actually makes a whole lot of sense. Clinton and McCaskill get along, and unless she's gifted with an Akin again she is toast in 2018.

Hillary won't appoint more than one Senator to the cabinet. The pros of having McCaskill as Secretary of Department of Whatever surely aren't worth the cons of losing her seat.

I can't see Hillary appointing a lot of incumbents to the cabinet. She's too smart to do that, and she has a massive network of qualified supporters and yes-men within the federal bureaucracy.

I'm going on the assumption a Dem governor appoints a Dem senator to serve until 2018 anyway, and McCaskill wants to get out of the Senate rather than risk a loss. In that scenario, no net loss in the Senate and Clinton gains a strong female cabinet secretary.

If Koster loses or Missouri senate vacancies don't work that way, forget it.
