Re: Hilary for Secretary of State
She can fit in about three or four slots:
Education, Health, Justice and SOS. Conflict of Interests questions might loom with Bill just as it was if he had chosen her as VEEP.
It would be great for a High Profile Job, even though Senator from New York is not bad. -

I think she is No3 right now, which might be 30 in Senate years before she can move to No1.
Like I said the problem is always Bill, he casts a long shadow based on his dealings. Not that they are illegal but there might be too many conflicts.Comment

Re: Hilary for Secretary of State
Not just that, have you all forgotten that "hard-working Americans, white Americans" comment by Hillary on May 7 or so?

They did kiss and make up and she campaigned hard for him.
He himself said he has fallen in love with the Team Of Rivals concept that Abe Lincoln used. He early on gave props to Doris Kearns Book of the same name written about Lincoln choices.
Bill Clinton made a great mistake not picking experience in his first go round, going for fresh faces in critical posts. He soon regretted it. Barack in his closing arguments compared the Clinton years to the Bush years and exhorted his audience to choose the Clinton years. Everyone remembered that even with a hostile Congress Bill Clinton made the most of his time to steer the country in the right direction.
Obviously he failed in his personal life and did not handle the Iraq problem well. Most of his appointees were never tainted in anyway so I expect Barack will look to the best and brightest among those.

The one thing I fault Barack for his not aggressively helping say a Franken and a couple of others in their Senate races. The Democratic Majority in the Senate would have been a safe 60+ without Lie-Berman and they could have then safely given him the boot.Comment

Re: Hilary for Secretary of State
yes, if Senate a seat becomes vacant the gov does appoint someone to replace them; that's what will happen in Delaware with Biden.
i think she would be a great SoS. someone on one a them news shows made the point that it is a very high-profile position, traveling all over the world to negotiate with various world leaders, loads of global exposure, and that Hil's experience would boost Obama's international-relations base since he'll have to concentrate on putting out the economic fires here first before he can deal with the rest of the world. As POTUS's 'right hand person', she'd be in a position of importance, pretty much his 2nd in command, and their opinion was she'd be excellent for the job. i tend to agree.Comment

Re: Hilary for Secretary of State
A comment made on msnbc, (Olbermeyer) was that because of the Clinton popularity abroad, it may supplant the Obama presidency, forming a pseudo-presidency abroad which would erode Obama's influence and possibly derailing his chance to a second term. These comments were made by more than one political commentator.
Make up, smake up, I don't trust her. That comment of hers still lurks in my mind. All that lovey dovey was to keep her on the stage.

Actually, they did help Franken. Barack didn't make it all the way north to our neck of the woods, but Hillary, on behalf of Obama and the party, came twice in the last two weeks of the election. Hillary went first to a small town not far from the Canadian border which is a pro-union iron mining town, along with Franken. If you've seen the movie North Country, that's where they were. Then the last few days Hillary and Franken came to Duluth.
So, now we're on to the Franken re-count which is so important. Around 200 votes separate him and Coleman. Franken filed a lawsuit this week to try to get some absentee ballots counted that were deemed too late, or something to that effect. Anyway the re-count is starting this coming week and I imagine there will be a lot of press.
I don't live in Minnesota, I can just see it from here, sorta.
That must make me an expert noh
