Attorney General might fit into that. She seems like the kind of person who will excel in whatever role she takes on.

Not that I get a vote on the choice, but I would very much prefer someone with a solid background inmob prosecutions.

... maybe not for AG... but I would give this woman a job. It is interesting how many of the Democratic "losers" kept right on working - for others. She is one at the top of the list. She has a great future. I hope she reads threads like this... We love you, Stacey!

Abrams is highly unlikely to want the position because it would undermine her sister's strong candidacy for Supreme Court Justice.

I think she can do pretty much what she wants at this point.
