Lanny Davis...

AP, 11/18/2008:

"Would she be willing to give up her independent stature in the U.S. Senate, Robert F. Kennedy's seat, to be in the Cabinet? It will be a considerable decision for her," said Lanny Davis, a former Clinton adviser not involved in the vetting. "It's a completely different life than you lead in the Senate, where you are your own spokesperson, your own advocate. When you join the Cabinet of the president of the United States, that is no longer the case."

NY Times, 11/18/2008:

The adviser described Mrs. Clinton as flattered by President-elect Barack Obama’s interest but said she was agonizing over the decision. Mrs. Clinton likes being her own boss and is reluctant to give up the independence that comes with that, said the adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process was at a delicate stage.

“If you are secretary of state you work for the president,” the adviser said in an e-mail response to questions from The New York Times. “If you are a senator, you work for yourself and the people that elected you.”

1. It wouldn't surprise me if the leak was started by someone like Lanny...

...he's the type to try and box Obama in.

[tularetom]

3. If Obama can be boxed in by the likes of "Lanny"

the voters have just made a horrible mistake.

You're not really concerned are you?

[scheming daemons]

5. Not concerned at all....

Lanny is a clown.

I think he ATTEMPTED to box in Obama..... but it won't work. He tried to box him in for picking Hillary as VP, remember? He started a web site and everything.

How'd that work out for him?

[Whisp]

8. that rot shows up at primaries, VP pick and now SoS

on the media, CNN anyway.

gee, I wonder what the connection/coincidence could be?

[bunnies]

2. Hasnt he gone away yet?

I can not stand that man.

[KittyWampus]

6. No, he is working on Faux News now.

[bunnies]

9. Seriously?!

Geezus. Just the thought of that makes my head hurt.

4. It can't be a leak, because Lanny knows nothing.

It's just him spouting off his own opinion about Hillary's motives.

[KittyWampus]

7. That was the whole point of my posting this. A "Leak" turns out to be uninformed blather

from some jackass trying to make HIMSELF important using his past associations with the Clintons.

10. If Lanny one of the three Hillary told, she needed to know he'd run with it.

Wish Hillary's entourage would respect the process (and Obama) more.

11. Good catch. Yes, the leaking is ridiculous. Why doesn't she take his advice and stay in the Senate?
