Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? Senator Rudy Giuliani?

I'll believe it when Hillary Clinton is sworn in as Secretary of State. Whoah...hold on...all we have is a report from Britain's Guardian newspaper that the New York senator will accept Barack Obama's offer to serve in Foggy Bottom.

If it's true, then of course Hillary Clinton will have to resign her US Senate seat, and Governor David Paterson, a Democrat, will appoint a replacement. It will be a Democrat, but there would be a special election in 2010 for the final two years of HRC's term.

There has been speculation that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani might run for governor in 2010. But he could run for Hillary's seat--which might have been his, had he not withdrawn from the US Senate race in 2000 after because of a bout with prostate cancer.

Just thinking...

Somehow I don't see that happening,
myself. "It may happen".

It should be Hillary. If anyone
deserves that job, it's her.

Hillary as a Secretary of State?
Love Obama with all my heart!
But now I am a little disapointed, I mean so far the template that is being built is based on the old.I thought this was going to be change not a throwback, we have all of the same players affiliated in some way with the impeached Clinton from 9 years ago, please President Obama, start tapping into the talent of tomorrow and the powermovers of the NOW, Hillary and the Clintons made me lose a great deal of respect, however, they seemed to patch things up but I would not have her in my cabinet or adminstration if he knows what is right for him, loyalty is the most important asset or your team, she has shown the cards of being able to cast a spear into his back and not bat an eye.

if Hillary becomes the Sec. State, hopefully she will be able to concentrate on country-centric issues without being distracted by other drama or her career plans
