From the Weekly Standard: The boss hears from two sources that Hillary Clinton is considering stepping down as Secretary of State this fall in order to run for Governor of New York.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Well...that’s ONE WAY to get out of her current (invisible) job...
Of course..another stepping stone. So, who would be the next SOS???
I knew she would step down. She has to be hacked off about the plot to kill her in Africa....somewhere inside she has to wonder if Obama was behind it.
Hugo Chavez?
I figured she wouldn’t last more than 2 years.
She really needs to run for governor if she intends to have a political future before she turns 80.
I'd suggest Van Jones but he may have a little trouble with the vetting...
Probably gives her a better change at the White House in 2012 and/or 2016.
Rudy really needs to oppose her.
Now that Huma dumped her, there’s no reason for her to stay in DC.
It wasn't until I got to NYC last month before I heard firsthand how much the people there loathe the present governor.
Clean break from the Secretary of State position too.
I knew eventually Hillary would jump off the sinking ship known as the Obama Administration. She is no dummy, she knows a train wreck when she sees one. Hillary is going to save herself and get the heck outta there. Wait, if Hillary does resign, will the media call her a quitter?
Quitter
obama neutered her at her current “job”.
Them Pants are made for Crustin!
And that’s just what they’ll do!
One of these days those pants
Are gonna crust all over you!
Dum dum, dum dum, dum dum, dum dum!
If true, she is starting to resemble a political opportunist, similar to Asa Hutchinson — someone who runs for this office, then that office, etc.
If the people of NY are dumb enough to vote for her....
[They did for her 2nd Senate term, knowing she would run for the presidency anyway.]
lol!
As an aside, regardless of one’s views on Bill Kristol and his policy views, when he “hears” something, it usually comes to pass.
He also head that O’Connor was resigning a week or so before it happened when no one was mentioning it.
He heard back in May of 2008 that Sarah Palin would be the GOP VP when no one else was mentioning it.
I was waiting for the first concrete sign that Hillary is preparing a 2012 challenge to Obama, this is clearly that.
