In Hillary Clinton's lust to be remembered as something other than the most cheated on First Lady ever, she has made a deal with the Devil, an odd sale of her soul where she doesn't even get to be President. I guess you have to take whatever you can get for your soul nowadays, what with the post-Obama market collapse we're going through. And what she could get was a job as Secretary of State, a job that would seem perfect for the woman who guaranteed that if the phone should ever ring at 3 in the morning, she would be there to answer it.

Well, after eight years as Sec of State, Hillary will be 94 years old and ready to make a McCain type run for the House in the D.C. Hood.
1. Vice President and President of the Senate--Joe Biden
2. Speaker of the House of Representatives--Nancy Pelosi
3. President pro tempore of the Senate--Robert Byrd
4. Secretary of State--Hillary Clinton
Since the President pro tempore of the Senate usually goes to the most senior member of the majority party, Hillary has no chance there, so Sec. of State is the best she can do at this time. If I were Obama, Biden, Pelosi or Byrd, I'd watch my back.
I can envision both possibilities. While the Obama reign has much to be frightened of, the Obama/Clinton grapple should be interesting political theater.
I think she’d be sitting pretty at State should she want to sabatoge Obama.
It’s been done before...
I do not think old Hillary is going to be giving up her Senate seat until the Senate confirms her nomination. Those hearings could be real drama.
I don't know what I was thinking, I guess I thought when he relinquished his chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee that, that somehow took away his being President Pro Tempore and I know, that's apple and oranges, one having nothing to do with the other.
Sorry...defintely a blonde moment for me. ;^(
I think KKK Byrd would be ahead of her in the line of succession...
