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.

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

She would have been a far better choice than Obama. I do not agree with a number of her positions, but she is worthy of respect. In fact, I'd prefer her over McCain.

Your memory and mine are quite opposite on this. The best examples that I can think of where our differences in dealing with the rest of the world were rolled out and put on display are during the most critical times: times of war. Think Vietnam, The Gulf Wars, etc.
