I'm not sure why I'm the one doing this but I'll throw it out there. Hillary for Attorney General?

[shadowknows69]

She is a lawyer after all and I don't think there's any doubt she'd be a fierce fighter for civil rights. I'd trust her with this country's justice system in a heartbeat, and y'all know I'm not exactly the biggest Hillary fan that came down the pipe.

1. hmmm...I kind of like that.

[shadowknows69]

2. The corrupt rethugs that have piled on the Clintons all these years

Would be pissing in their collective panties.

[OHDEM]

3. I thought that 's what he'd offer.

Or Supreme Court, but I heard she doesn't want that.

I think Secretary of State is bigger. I really wanted Edwards for AG, but I don't see that happening now!

[shadowknows69]

4. If Hillary is interested more in the welfare of this country than a celebrity post

I would think she would even see that there are better fits for her in the administration or simply to remain a powerful Senator. Maybe AG isn't high profile enough, I don't know how you could think Supreme Court Justice isn't but I think she's better suited where she can get in there and help create policy than simply be "the voice" of the President essentially, which is what a good SOS needs to be. Don't you think that would almost be hobbling to her?

5. I would say SoS or she stays in the Senate.

She would make a fine AG, but I don't see her going there.

6. I also kind of like it, but I can see one BIG problem with it.

IF Obama thoroughly investiagtes the Bushies, having a Clinton as AG could give the appearence of impropriety and a flavor of "revenge" to it.

Let me be perfectly clear about why this matters, and it has NOTHING to do with the collective nonsense of the Savage Weiners, Hannidiots, Dittoheads, Coultergeists, and other spiritual descendants of the KKK and yes, they certainly bear some resemblence to the Nazi Followers of the 1920s (but much less violent).

What it has to do with is that a Clinton as AG, prosecuting the very vile Bushies who unjustly pursued them, while a very appealing thought, is not the way to show that we Democrats, even maltreated and abused as we have been, will not stoop to behaving like Bushies (in their prsuit of injustice for their enemies) in OUR pursuit of JUSTICE.

Again, it is not her personally, just the bad circumstances. She should be in an Obama Cabinet, and would be a fine addition...just not as AG.

She would also make a KICK ASS Senate Majority Leader, enforcing discipline among the ranks in ways Harry Reid can only probably dream about.

[shadowknows69]

10. I think they'll go the "revenge" route anyway but valid point

It is the one piece of baggage that will essentially follow her wherever she ends up. Even if Bill never had the stupidest scandal in the universe happen she would still be tied to a "former administration" and therefore, in their limited brains, guilty of any foible that President may have had.

7. Nope, shes too close to the bush family

via her home life and her husband Bill. I vote no on that one shadow, sorry
:fistbump:

[shadowknows69]

11. NP, I was suprised my own self that I thought of it lol

A coffee and bong induced thought I just figured I'd chuck out there.B-)

[madokie]

13. cool

:fistbump:

[Warpy]

8. I'd rather see her in the Senate, helping push health care through

but that's just me. If Obama feels compelled to give her a cabinet post, it should be Health and Human Services. While she might be adequate as AG, she would be outstanding at HHS.

[shadowknows69]

12. I agree too but the buzz seems to be that posts like that aren't "Marquee" enough

[Warpy]

14. Things are a little too desperate right now

to titillate the masses with window dressing posts. We've had that for eight years and every department in the government is in one crisis or another.

Better the masses be bored and frustrated by the dullness of government that works.

[shadowknows69]

16. Hear hear

[BlueManDude]

9. makes much more sense than SOS.

[OHdem10]

15. Hillary has her own power and can forge a very good future

in the Senate.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

17. I suggested

the same thing in a thread about a week ago. :)

[shadowknows69]

18. Oh cool, I'm not alone in my madness lol.

Sorry I duped you "Little Buddy", I didn't see it.

[cali]

19. let's see: you argue in another thread that there are more qualified

candidates for SoS. Well, at least there, Hillary has a lot of stature in other countries, and she has experience on the world stage.

She has less experience when it comes to the Justice Dept. and there are several people being considered who are far more qualified than she is- Janet Napolitano, for example.

[shadowknows69]

20. Bully for Janet, good luck to her. I was just throwing it out there.

Don't know why you're looking for a flamefest cali, that wasn't my intention in either post.
