Under serious consideration is the word tonight.
NEW YORK (WABC) –– ABC News is reporting that Sen. Hillary Clinton is being considered to serve as secretary of state in the Obama administration. Clinton lost to Barack Obama in the Democratic presidential primary. There was no comment from Senator Clinton's office on the report. The former first lady is in her second term as a senator from New York. The news follows reports on Wednesday that Obama's transition aides approached Clinton's former campaign manager about taking a senior White House post. Unnamed Democratic sources said Patti Solis Doyle is considering taking the job, although she worries about the effect it would have on her two young children. She was contacted about possibly becoming Cabinet secretary, a job that involves coordinating the efforts of the White House and cabinet-level agencies. Thoughts? |

Honestly? I could think of worse. In fact, it could be good. I don't think her and obambi would get along. Anything that distracts that motherfucker is a good thing. That's the direction I'm leaning myself. However, as a NY'er, I fear for what this means for my state. |

To be perfectly honest about it, she'd probably do a decent job in that position. She might be a very good Secretary of State, actually.
And it would be a net improvement for us because it would mean that she would not be part of the lawmaking process anymore if she took the job.

Why would she fucking do that? Senator is MUCH more powerful than Sec State. I do not know. 
They're talking about it on the radio now, so if any insight comes forth, I'll post it. I posted to see what Hiram has to say. 
Politics ain't my bag, but since it just came over the news, I figured it would make good fodder. |

I called this over 2 months ago except I figured he would have made the offer prior to the election.

| Think Madeline Albright, someone so clever as to choose each brooch to send a secret message to someone who doesn't get it and has no respect for anythign you think anyway. I'd say Clinton would be right in there with her. Sounds like a good pick for those hoping for the "total collapse" theory that causes Obama to fail so badly by '10 that the opposition can retake Congress. |

The word is "she may be tapped" for the job. Doesn't mean she'd accept. Now suppose this was negotiated months ago, what could be the motivation to take this job? *Something* must have been negotiated, because she went quietly into the night. That ain't Clinton-like. Either it was made clear to her that the fix was in (ACORN ect) Or he had something that could destroy her worse than anything she had on him. I smell fish, and it ain't Hildog's.

I'd Rather her be Secretary of State than Attorney General. Waco and Ruby Ridge would look like town hall meetings compared to what we would have in store. I predicted months ago Obama would offer her the AG slot. Will be interesting to see who gets that position. |

Quoted:
well she would help steer the regime back from the left abit, which would be good. That's actually a possibility, amazingly.
She's also great at doing nothing, so I don't mind if she'd stay in NY. Schumer on the other hand, boy would I like to see him get Spitzer'd.

No way. I bet she stays in the Senate, hopes Obama really fucks up, and plans to run in 2012. If Obama has a terrible first term, and she's in the cabinet, she can't distance herself and run in the primary. Then again, couldn't this strengthen her resume for a run in 2012 regardless? I mean face it, we all know oblama is going to royally screw the pooch... The dems will blame it on BOOOSH, and people won't vote oblama again... but they just might get behind Hildog. Dems have to run SOMEONE, right? And who are the Republicans going to run? The already branded with "inexperience" Palin? That would be a disaster if Hildog has the added exp. of Sec. of State. Following me here? Hillary could be positioning herself to be the single most experienced democratic candidate EVER.

As I sit here and think of Democrat alternatives for that job, she seems to stay near the top of the list. She might be a bitch, but she knows the game. I really don't think she'd be that bad. She would definitely do better than John Kerry! +1, Yeah she'd suck but in reality whoever Obamamessiah puts in that position is going to suck. Get's her out of the Senate so she can fuck some other people up besides us here and if it keeps her away from the SCOTUS it's a win win. |

Easy now... what kind of imbecile do you think they're gonna replace her with? I'm willing to bet one far worse than Schumer. ETA: And lets not forget Hillary hasn't done much of a damn thing as a NY Senator. That's a good thing. I wouldn't mind that continuing to be her legacy. |
