3. I expect their roles will be specifically defined.

Clinton has some three attorneys and two negotiators working her interests.

17. And when issues arise day to day,
they'll probably have ways to address them. Hope it works. Sure hope no one's looking for a crown.

23. Who cares what the pundits say?
They are wrong about 75% of the time, yet some hang on their every word.

Go figure?

26. "They are wrong about 75% of the time"
Does that mean there is a 25% chance that they have the SoS story right?

14. Oh those jerks - they are trying to make something out of nothing.
You can be certain that Obama would have made sure his pick for SoS was okay with Joe.

And - another thing these jerks don't get - is that Joe and Hillary are really good friends.

This is crap, and not worth talking about.

27. ok. they definitely won't get along
I always argue with scorpios. In fact, if I meet someone and there's an immediate tension, it's usually no surprise that that person is a scorpio.

25. I doubt it.
Biden and Hillary have been friends for a long time and get along well. During the last State of the Union he sat next to her, which was a nice gesture considering that it was the day that Kennedy chose to endorse Obama.

My Mom is a Scorpio and her best friend is one too, they seem to attract each other or something.

37. Those are great
I especially like the last one!

The media is just creating stories to hold an audience that is probably not as interested in politics now that the election is over.

38. Great pics, thanks!!!!
Yeah, they get along great. To quote Jill Biden during an interview while patting him on the arm: "We know Joe, you love Hillary". It appeared that Joe had been going on and on about Hillary since their morning coffee and Jill was teasing him about his "crush".

Hillary plays hardball

The first sign of friction in the Obama camp as Mrs Clinton demands - and gets - a purge of her critics before accepting Secretary of State role

By Leonard Doyle in Washington
Sunday, 23 November 2008



Until this week he was poised to be the eminence grise of the State Department, organising as total revamp of America's troubled foreign policies on Mr Obama's behalf. Its turns out that Mrs Clinton's delay in accepting the president elect's offer to be his top foreign policy adviser had much to do with her negotiating the terms of the job and insisting on the right to choose her own state department staff and possibly even some of the plumb Ambassador postings. She wanted guarantees of direct access to the president – without having to go through his national security adviser. Above all she did not want to end up like Colin Powell who was completely out-manoeuvred by the hawkish Vice President Dick Cheney who imposed neo-conservative friends like John Bolton on the State Department and steered the US towards a policy of using torture to achieve its aims.

34. Crappola. There is no evidence of this. Just idle speculation.
Hillary and Joe have been close colleagues for quite some time. No reason to believe there is a problem there or a potential for a problem.

36. Doubt it exists
Joe and her got along very well in the Senate and Joe never endorsed till the primaries were decided.
