The GOOD news is, it would get her out of the Senate.

[Redbob]

And Rudy could run for her senate seat.

[Ptaz]

Is this her payoff for leaving the race and not pursuing things. Now that pesky debt....it will probably disappear too if she gets it.

[Army Air Corps]

My suspicions are confirmed.

[catpuppy]

Well, she does have the same qualifications that Maddy Albright has ...

“Putting Clinton, wife of former President Bill Clinton, in the position could help heal whatever lingering divisions remain in the Democratic Party after her bitter battle with Obama. ...”

Pullleeeeeeeeeeeze let it be true. Ohmama will be DOA with Hillary stumping for herself and Rahm grandstanding - the big tent will become the Big Top. What a circus. This one term American Idol empty suit pResident is making the biggest early mistakes since Bubba tackled gays in the military and installed Hillary as Health Care Czar. A rookie like this in the White House is simply a Godsend for us...2010 will be big and ‘12 will be bigger...they will implode within the first 6 months...

"Hillary Clinton emerges as State dept candidate"

And the hits just keep on comin'.../sarc

I'm considering why the leak.

If he was going to pick her he could get on the horn and ask her, but that would risk having The One turned down directly and he would lose face.

So it's leaked as a trail baloon and she could play the Kabuki dance by saying maybe/maybe not before a formal offer.

One deal-breaker would be filling out that 63 page questionaire that would require her to give The One a document dump that would fill a medium land fill.

[rattrap]

There's no way I'd ever be happy with the messiah’s SoS choice but Hillary is better than Kerry or Richardson.

At least she's got Balls. :-D

[romanesq]

Suspect she wouldn’t take this position. It puts her out of the country. Good in one way if her peops go after the self-anointed One but bad as he is her boss.

Think she’ll stay in the Senate where she can more easily get her folks like Pellicano and others to kill off the family dog and such.

She’s dead to us but well you do remember Vince Foster.

[UglyinLA]

Pity anyone who will be linked to the Obama administration. It will be the worst in history.

The Clintons might be crooks, but they’re not fools.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Will she keep her mouth shut?.....

[CORedneck]

She’ll be right at home with the communist and leftists in the DOS.

[ken21]

certainly a place where she could wear her pantsuits

and be seen on global tv.

[mockingbyrd]

There’s NO way Hillary will put herself in a position where Obama could fire her.

[cubreporter]

can’t you just wait to see all the infighting???? clintins will be running the WH

[Soren]

Are we going to have anyone with relevant experience in the executive branch?

[Former Fetus]

When I first read about it, I thought that would keep her from working behind the scenes to expose the failures of Obama’s administration, and pave her way for 2012. In exchange for her “good behavior” he could... well, maybe help her with the campaign debt. LOL, they deserve each other. But may God have mercy on the rest of us.

[Paradox]

Believable, because it is clear that Obama is going to inherit a very poor economy which might take a long time to fix up. That being the case, 4 years from now, who would be his greatest competitor. A republican? No, pubbies will still get the blame for things (thanks MSM). Still, the man will be at his weakest. His greatest threat will be another Democrat that tries to futher weaken him or even take the nomination from him in 2012. Anyone remember how Ted Kennedy screwed over Jimmy Carter?

This is a move to shut her up and keep her out of the running in 2012.

[rjp2005]

HA! Hillary stoop down to the level of Secretary?? I don’t think so.

The White House is still in her sights until Obama takes the oath.
