That's the seat once held by Bobby Kennedy. If the governor selects a Kennedy (Caroline or RFK Jr.) for the seat, they'd have lifetime tenure.

It was smart of Obama not to offer Hillary the VP slot. As SOS she's too far down the line of succession--the Clintons won't try to Arkancide him because that would just make Biden President.

The Clintons had a pretty feeble foreign policy record when they were in charge. Apart from stopping the siege of Sarajevo and enabling Yasser Arafat to win the Nobel Peace Prize, they didn't have a lot of successes. WJC not only did nothing to stop the genocide in Rwanda, but made sure no one else would be able to do anything. On the whole our enemies were stronger at the end of his 8 years than when he took office.

But to put a smiley face on it, Hillary isn't as bad as some people Obama could have selected--Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader, Cindy Sheahan, Louis Farrakhan, Dennis Kucinich, or Ward Churchill.

Those six are probably being saved for Barry’s second term cabinet.

Thanks for your comment and insight. Wonder if Caroline will take her Uncle Bobby’s post. I’m sure it’s hers for the taking.
