Ambition fades with age.
I think idea of the baby having no impact on her decision to run is a bit ludicrous. What is more likely is the baby either gives her more cause to run or less cause to run. My gut feeling is she is thinking about how nice it might be just to be a grandma(in addition to thinking how nice it might be to president).
With some people, ambition sharpens with age.
Listen to her commencement speech at Wesley. She is one focused, driven and ambitious individual, I think she is sure of herself, unlikely to reflect on whether what she has wanted is right, unless she is overwhelmingly prevented from attaining it. I think her overall ideological outlook is unlikely to change in her life time.
I think for someone like her, she no doubt thinks being the best grandma she could possibly be means her grand children can say their grand mother is:
1. the president of the United States
2. is in a position to further advocate the ideologies she has held since her own Wesley days.
