If she plays up the "less effective governor" aspect, she might be able to effectively sell it as selflessly ceding power for the good of the state. If she runs in 2012, best bet might be to make it a campaign issue on her terms from the beginning; i.e. attack Obama for depriving the people of Illinois of a Senator focused on their issues by holding on to his office while he spent the majority of his time on the campaign trail.
Not sure if that's the angle she's working, or whether she could pull it off, but right now everything is conjecture.
