1. That would be interesting.
Maybe she could be the Director of the CIA.

2. I was just thinking the same thing, but I bet it won't happen. She's considered
a polarizing person now.

8. I don't think so

She said she was a Democrat during her hearing, when that asshat from GA was giving her a hard time

9. LOL No. But I think the hue and cry _from_ the Repubs if she was appointed would be
deafening. They told so many lies about her, I don't know that the average joe plumbers out there didn't all slurp that garbage down and wouldn't raise a fuss.

Remember, black is white, up is down, and a patriot like Valerie Plame should be tried for treason. *sigh* Obama would never hear the end of it if her name was even on the short list.

12. She is also completely compromised in her old clandestine role
She'd need a very different position because if she stayed inside the intelligence world every nation would be targeting her.

3. I know that Ambassador Wilson was a strong HRC supporter
Did he and Ms. Plame Wilson ever come around to supporting Obama after the primaries? I honestly have no idea.

5. She is so beautiful and smart in ways that Sarah Palin can only dream about
but yeah, I'd love to see her get rewarded with a nice job with Obama. That really would be sweet.

17. I know...there isn't enough talk about her....and that's coming from a Clinton supporter.
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 04:47 PM by rvablue
that is a Clinton supporter IN THE PRIMARY!!

I really, really hope that she is in the administration.

What she said about Hillary, while I didn't like it at the time, was in all fairness said off the record and the unscrupulous European journalist used it anyway.

And just like I hope that Obama primary voters can forgive and forget, I forgot whatever she said long, long ago that I can't even paraphrase it right....know I didn't like it, but can't remember it.

Anyway, it would be a huge disappointment to me if she is not in there somewhere..........

20. Don't hold your breath
After Joe Wilson's over the top character hits against Obama, Plame will have to make due with what the private sector has to offer.

23. If I remember correctly....
They were in the same training class at the CIA Academy, and worked together while they were in the agency. He made a name for himself defending her after she was outed - and then completely blew that name apart this election cycle.
