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.

Maybe Hillary just wants to be as high in the line of succession as possible for the time being.

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.

Oh, you're right!

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. ;^(

One Kenyan birth, aneurysm, and indictment later... I get her as President?!

I think KKK Byrd would be ahead of her in the line of succession...
