More back door Clinton politics and deals.
WASHINGTON - We may soon be calling Hillary Rodham Clinton Madame Secretary.
President-elect Barack Obama is considering the New York senator and former first lady for secretary of state - an appointment that would go a long way toward healing the wounds left by their bruising Democratic primary.
Two Democratic officials confirmed that Clinton - long rumored to be a contender for the job - is under serious consideration.
Adding to the intrigue, Obama and Clinton met yesterday in Chicago, according to a Democratic official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.

It’s her way of getting out of the senate which is no longer the stepping stone she used it for.
"Nukes For Everyone !! "
There may be an upside: How would her replacement Senator be chosen?
With a vote by a state that keeps getting more and more liberal and I live in NYC.
Has anyone told her SOS requires diplomacy? She will not be able to shriek at the NATO or Kuwait..
Leftwing loon Governor Paterson will select her replacement, until the looney left wing electorate gets to chime in.
More Change We Can Believe In.
Just make sure the president, VP and Speaker are never in the same car, plane or train.
If the democrats keep this up, one of these days they’ll find a job that hillary can actually do....
I have always assumed that what the clintons really want is power and money. You can’t suck up a lot of donations and bribes if you are Secretary of State. Maybe it would feed her ego, though. But it’s hard work, and not that much return for it.
HA HA HA!!!
CHANGE we can be afraid of.
Semper Fi,
Another fat broad with a pro Palistinian agenda.
Guess that kiss for Suha Arafat paid off after all.
Why can’t Dims appoint a babe (eg Sarah Palin) once in awhile. I mean really...we’ve had to stare at the ugly mugs of Albright, Reno, and now Clinton. Cmon, there has to be at least one babe in the Dims ranks somewhere!
Makes me worry.
Regards,
She will not accept a post in his cabinet .
Her Highness Madam Hillary WON’T bow down to King 0 .
(remember cabinet secretaries serve at the pleasure of the president)
The Sec. of State is no longer in the line of succession anymore. That was changed during the Truman administration. That was the reason that Henry Kissinger could become Sec. of State since he was not born in the U.S. Remember how much grief Al Haig got the day Reagan was shot for saying, “I’m in charge here.”? Haig forgot that the succession line was changed.
The line of Succession goes: VP, Speaker of the House, & Senate pro Temp.
