...should she be offered?

I think she might handle Secretary of State or HHS quite well.

1. A DEM president needs a strongly DEM House & Senate to get things working again
She needs to stay on the Hill.

4. I'm okay with that too. As long we can tell Lieberman to take a hike....
I PRAY that we get a larger majority in the Senate.

It's up to them to vote him out of office.

52. True, but he can go caucus with his own party instead of holding ours hostage.
Which he has been doing since we can't retain majority without him just now.

2. If I were Barack I would have nothing what so ever to do with the Clinton's.....
Exclude them completely from his Administration, cause he would never be able to trust them.

57. Baghdad Bob should be Bush's press secretary
He has experience reading lies handed to him by a tyrant with no regard for human rights or due process, who sets up secret torture chambers, and who plunges his nation into unnecessary wars.

But I'd rather look at Dana Perino.

10. She says she wants to get in there and run things, I always thought her description was more like...
Chief of Staff



It is the "office manager" of the oval office. I think she might be good at it. Also she can answer the phone at 3 am, and then wake up the president if it is important.

I think this is a delightful thread. Poor poor Hillary, after her defeat, she's just a senator again, like John Kerry.

I think that if Obama wins, she should have a position in his administration.

29. Hmmm
I think biden or richardsons's views on diplomacy match closer to obama's so they might be better candidates for carrying out his policies there . I think Dodd's years of service to progressive causes should be rewarded in the senate with him being the majority leader. For hillary (and I don't think she'll see this as high profile enough) but I'd like to see her in the role of solicitor general, I think she'd grow to have some fun there. Of course there's still a lot of work ahead to get the nomination, let alone the GE.

38. I agree. I want her and Bill to be a part of the WH. But...here comes my rant...
I think that Hillary Clinton has veered so far from the person she wanted to be. I think she has been wrangled and handled and mishandled and pointed and guided, etc. If she doesn't win the nomination, I wish she would do something like Al Gore. Just "drop out" and spend a bit of time reconnecting with who she really is and the things that are really important to her. I think she could reemerge as a passionate advocate for change, esp. in regards to the health care and education of women and children in this country and maybe even around the world. I think that is where her passion truly lies. I don't see her as a statesperson. I see her as a domestic goddess (lol) and I do think her talents should be used in an Obama administration.
