Comapre and contrast, Richardson vs. Clinton for SoS?

[4themind]

Who do you think would be better for the job given their skill set and diplomatic experience and please explain why specifically. I'd be interested in seeing the arguments from both sides. Thanks

1. Richardson is a Good Choice. Clinton isn't.

But the Clintons hate 'Judas' Richardson, so they are doing everything in their power to snuff his chances.

3. Please explain to me how the Clintons can "snuff his chances".

I don't think either of them have that much influence with Obama. He will choose the person who he feels is best for the position.

[Cosmic Charlie]

5. they don't have influence with Obama directly so they 'leak' to the public

in hopes that the people will put pressure on Obama.

It didn't work for VP. It won't work now.

9. Oh, please...........

Why would Hillary want to be in his cabinet anyway? She's far better off in the senate where she's independent and not having to take orders from Obama.

[Cosmic Charlie]

12. maybe she doesn't want to be in the Cabinet, but she sure as shit doesn't want Richardson there.

[Beacool]

13. She's not the only one...............

10. I agree with most of your post, except the part about

Clinton not being a good choice. I actually think it would be better to have Hillary in the cabinet, as part of the administration, than sitting in the Senate plotting a way to run against Obama in 2012.

I think Clinton, Richardson and Kerry are all well-qualified for the job. And frankly, the only reason I'd like to see it go to Clinton is stated above.

I know it's going to piss off alot of DUers, but that's too bad. I don't trust either one of the Clinton's and I never will.

16. I don't recall Richardson every threatening to obliterate another country...

that's not the kind of vocablulary a responsible SoS should have.

[Sensitivity]

2. Why?? The rumor is bunk.

[skeewee08]

4. I read another post

that stated Richardson has Energy expertise is this true?

[MadBadger]

7. Secretary of Energy in the Clinton Administration

[Sebastian Doyle]

6. Bill Richardson never said "Obliterate Iran"

'nuff said.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Well, Richardson is Judas.

Which I guess makes Hillary Clinton Jesus.

Why don't you want Jesus for Secretary of State?

Stupid anti-religious DU!

11. this is all speculation and assuming, we do not know

what was said in that meeting with Obama and Clinton, and I wouldn't believe in what Andrea Mitchell says. There are a few who are interested in the position. Kerry, Richardson, Hagel was mentioned too.

14. Richardson SoS, Hillary AG n/t

15. Clinton MUCH better the Richardson
