A step further - COMPLETELY hypothetical - what if Hillary becomes SOS, & McCain Sec of Defense? |
|
Edited on Sat Nov-15-08 12:48 AM by Skip Intro
Wtf would happen here?
Wtf would happen in our party, and the repuke party?
Wtf would happen to the Senate? (Would AZ replace McCain with another repuke, or a Dem? How sure is that?)
Wtf would happen in the country?
The world?
I have nothing but a gut feeling that this might be the way it works out.
So on a completely hypothetical tangent - what would happen?
as a disclaimer - I am in no way, IN NO WAY, comparing Hillary Clinton to John McCain, or pulling for McCain in any way.

1. IMNSHO, two steps too far. |
|
We don't need DRAMA of keeping Bill in check. And we all know Bill would constantly step on HRC's efforts.
McCain? No way! No two people could have more desperate perspectives on foreign policy than Obama and McCain. McCain as Sec of Def is bizarre on face value alone.

2. McCain is no friend to the troops. |
|
His record is clear. Unless Obama is insane, he will stay away from that one. Hill on the other had, I couldn't tell you.

6. The left's communal heads would explode, |
|
the rest of the country would breath a sigh of relief that there would be some experienced people at the helm and that Obama can see past partisanship.

7. Bill will never release his financial info. re: his recent foreign dealings...thus |
|
Hillary will not be able to serve in this Administration as Secretary of State.
Obama is mending fences with McCain (not that he is the one who needs to do this!). McCain will stay in the Senate, period.
Neither person will be in Barack's Cabinet, in my opinion.

11. **IF** McCain were in the administration, it shouldn't be anything to do with foreign policy |
|
it should be something like Dept of the Interior. No way do we need that finger on the button.

17. I agree with those eloquent words |
|
McCain needs to retire and go away. He can go to Alaska and have it out with Palin. I don't care. But I want him gone.
There is absolutely NO reason for McCain to get offered anything. He doesn't deserve it - for a lot of reasons.

19. Hillary for SOS is fine, McCain as SOD..... |
|
NOT "change I can believe in". Sorry. Going by the views/positions espoused by McCain during the campaign on a purely practical level, there is no way that those two will see eye-to-eye on.........just about everything. Veteran's Affairs......maybe.....but then again he doesn't have a particularly good record on veteran's issues either, so............
Perhaps somebody should try suggesting that Obama nominate Donald Rumsfeld for SOD next? :eyes:
