Oh, my! That was clever!

Reminds me of back in the primaries. Me and a repub were tag teaming this gal who set up her Ron Paul booth in front of the local post office, complete with a big poster of the President with a hitler moustache. I started off with, "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, have you ever read a history book? How dare you?" The repub called her a wack job in need of a tar an' feathering.
We commiserated a little walking back to our cars with him saying "If some don't like the Prez vote him out but leave that Nazi shit out of it." I laughingly asked him how did he like the primary sideshow? He said," I'm not voting Democratic if that's where you're going with this." I told him you can't blame a liberal for trying... :rolleyes:

Seriously? I'd think it would be highly irregular if a Sec'y of State, any Sec'y of State, for any President, were to be found out on the campaign trail. I don't recall Condi Rice, James Baker, Maddy Albright or Larry Eagleberger on the campaign trail at any point. Maybe the Sunday AM talking head shows, but that's about it.

In this case,there's a war on, tensions with Syria, Iran, the Ruskies... I'd think her dance card is pretty full.

So for you Californians how well did the primary fair in your districts with the new system?

So, do you think that bipartisanship is still possible in foreign policy?

I'm not sure what you're getting at counselor. My comment was a simple observation that a Sec'y of State is typically not out campaigning during an election cycle.

I was acknowledging your astute comment, and expanding on it. You seemed to suggest that the Sec'y of State is unlikely to be used as a strictly political operative. As a nation, we have a history of tempering our differences when it comes to dealing with the rest of the world. I was wondering out loud if, in this particularly divisive time, our pols are capable of cooperating in even that narrow area.

It does seem that in the her current role, Hillary has gained respect from those within both parties. She is much less of a polarizing figure now than when she was running for office.

I seem to think she would of been a great President ......



Barney

And may be yet. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see her run again in 2016 after Obama's second term.

I wonder if starting one's presidency at age 69 is pushing the envelope. Aside from that, it would be near impossible for anyone to match her resume.
