[Olog-hai]

Hillary Clinton will step down as U.S. Secretary of State within 'days' of President Barack Obama's second inauguration in January, her spokesman said today.

Her long-respected(?) departure is expected by most Democrats to be a prelude for a White House run in 2016, when she will be 69.

The top candidate to replace her is believed to be Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the losing 2004 Democratic presidential nominee. …

Another Bush, another Clinton. Turnout will be in the tens of thousands.

I'll be crawling across broken glass... to vote against both of them.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

” Can I get me a Secretary of State appointment heyah?”

[RobertClark]

So, with Hillary departing, Holder about to go, three likely SCOTUS openings - Just Freakin’ wonderful, now the extreme militant liberals are going to be put into play!

Lurch as SoS, what a joke. He can wear his old fatigues with the medals he recovered on them.

[Shady]

Exactly. Gig for life to thrust us into oblivion.

[newzjunkey]

Actually Hillary said close to a year ago that she would NOT be returning in a second term. That’s why John F Kerry has been rumored as her replacement for months.

By then the GOP will have all the Testosterone of Barney Frank. The Grand Old Party of Boehner and the rest is dead. Period.
It is time to build the new party from scratch excluding the namby pea hens.

She should have a rope around her neck and swing with Holder.

I can live with that.

[NotSoFreeStater]

We’ll know she’s running for President if she goes away for awhile and comes back thinner and looking 20 years younger thanks to the best plastic surgeons.

If horse face becomes SoS, his seat opens up. I wonder if Brown would be interested in running again? It would be great to pick up a seat.

[Fresh Wind]

It’s the Bill Hangin Left Indicator.

Probably a symptom of his Peroni's disease.

[albie]

I don’t know how Kerry is supposed to be Sec of State when all he can say is “yoou raaang”

[DannyTN]

I do remember that.

Of course Hillary swore she would never run for President multiple times and then did. So I never quite believer her. Not sure I believe her now. She could just be angling for a raise.

I think the rats will run Biden in 2016.

No way liberals will run an old white man for POTUS in 2016, or ever again--unless he is gay.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

John Kerry will surely bring gravitas to the post.

[C210N]

for her Supreme Court nomination...

No way. And, if that were to be the case, the smart move would be to rubber stamp her, at her advanced age.

The alternative to the 'rats would be choosing someone just as Marxist at half her age.

That level of plastic surgeon hasn’t been born yet.
