How confident are you that Obama will announce Hillary as his nominee for SoS

[ProSense]

[polichick]

1. I'd say her chances are as good as they were for veep.

[joshcryer]

2. Given that people associated with Obama said she was the top choice...

...and the ensuing leaks most from the Obama camp, I would expect Hillary Clinton is already chosen and they're waiting for formalities to go over.

Obama's team just recently put Samantha Power's in charge of her appointment. Pretty savvy of him.

3. I've been saying for 2 weeks that Hillary won't be doing it & no one believes me

but if I'm wrong, at least it'll be fun to watch you explode. :nuke:

:hi:

[Sebastian Doyle]

7. I believe you.

I believe it will be Bill Richardson. :)

[mtnsnake]

12. Thanks

but if you bet a ton of money on it and you lose, don't hold me responsible!

However, should you bet and win big, don't forget my modest commission :evilgrin:

[Lilith Velkor]

13. Yup.

And with HRC in the Senate, she'll be an independent force, which will be the subject of endless unintentional comedy (the funniest kind) from the tinfoil hatters! :bounce:

[ruggerson]

34. Yes a more preferable outcome

but I think the State thing is a done deal.

Why she wants to give up a safe Senate seat is a mystery.

[MasonJar]

4. In what way savvy?

[mkultra]

5. its either SOS or POTUS, time will only tell

[Metric System]

32. This poster is not a Hillary supporter. Apparently this poster is playing games and trying to cause

division.

[Forkboy]

33. I don't know what's funnier. His satire or your reaction to it.

[PresidentObama]

6. It'll be Hillary. I wish it were Kerry, but Hillary will do great n/t

[rvablue]

22. Of course I think Kerry is qualified to be SoS but one question

that has gone unanswered is if Teresa Heinz Kerry was willing to have her personal and philanthropic finances sifted through.

I'm not throwing this out there as flamebait, but the Obama transition team has even gotten the ever secretive who-gave-to-my-library Clinton to open up his books and it's only fitting and rational that they would expect the same from Mrs. Kerry if in fact her husband wanted and was considered for the position.

And, no, I'm not saying that she has done anything wrong or unethical, I'm just drawing the comparison...........

[jesus_of_suburbia]

23. I wish it were Kerry too.

I love Hillary, but I want her to stay in the Senate (where her career is just starting).

Kerry has already had a great career in the Senate. Let him have SOS.

[IndianaGreen]

8. Just what this country needed, a drama queen for SecofState

What about her philandering husband?

[Life Long Dem]

15. Wasn't it Bush and Condi?

Never mind.

[TahitiNut]

16. Nell will be tied to railroad tracks all over the world.

Poor Nell.

[me b zola]

9. 50/50

:shrug:

[Forkboy]

10. At this time last year I was 100% sure Hillary would win the primary.

I'll pass on this bit of prognosticating.

[Double T]

11. HRC is one of BO's premier choices for a cabinet post!

[Zombie2]

I don't think it will be Hillary n.t

[Zombie2]

14. I don't think it will be Hillary n.t

[Donald Ian Rankin]

17. I think you've confused "not confident" and "confident not".

"Not confident at all" would be about 50% or 55%

The option at the bottom is where one would expect 0% to be, which is "confident not".

[sandnsea]

18. Sounds like it's Hillary to me

I wish it were just about anybody else, I don't understand why they're going with her, but I think it's a done deal. I just hope the plan is to keep her out of the Senate and doing busy work.

[dailykoff]

19. I think the chances are diminishing with each passing day,

but since he hasn't denied anything yet, I'd still put it at about 50%.

[Shiver]

20. Needs one more option:

"Don't really give a shit."

[musicblind]

21. The will most likely be SOS. n/t

[wyldwolf]

24. It's a done deal

[AtomicKitten]

25. I'll believe it when Obama announces it. Too much white noise in the interim.

[JI7]

26. 100 percent sure

[LWolf]

27. Other: I don't think "confident" is the right term.

How probable do I think it is?

Very.

[Attackthejugular]

28. I heard her appointment would be inconstitutional

I doubt Obama will take the chance with her. Obama was chief of the Harvard Law Review, and as such he is very knowledgeable about the Constitution. I think someone else is given the spot.

[lostnotforgotten]

29. All The Fuss Is For The Media To Flagellate About

eom

[sampsonblk]

30. I am praying against it

I sure hope he is smarter than to have the Clintons anywhere near his administration.

[mkultra]

31. then you pray to the devil.
