Responses:

there are several positives in it for her - for example, a mid-east peace treaty is one thing that eluded Bill. Both he and Dubya started too late. - crash davis Nov 17, 09:03
Why? She's actually kind of a junior member of the Senate. - con_carne Nov 17, 09:02
I remember during the primary hearing/reading reportage that said she felt stymied in the Senate and felt she could get more done in a branch - Diva Nov 17, 09:00

could the VP also be SoS? seems right up his alley. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 08:58
Probably realizes she's likely not to have another shot at the Presidency, might as well reach as high as she can - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:57 8
- sure she will. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:58 7
  - She'll be nearly 70 at that point in time; not a death sentence; but not something anyone counts on. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:59 2
    - woman have a longer life expectancy! I just think it's too soon to write her off. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 09:00 1
      - How about this one....since 1952; there's only been 1 party to win 3 straight elections. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 09:03
  - fine then, would be SoS make her more qualified for the presidency? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 17, 08:59 3
    - Unqeustionably; especially if she only had the job 4-6 years. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 09:00
    - used to be a better stepping stone to the presidency than the VP slot... -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:59
    - Hard to see how it couldn't. She's been a Senator. Doing another job shouldn't make her less qualified. -- nm - TFox Nov 17, 08:59
she wants international experience, right? -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:57
