Anyone who says Hillary hasn’t spent any time in the Senate serving NY needs to get a taste of reality (i.e. stop watching Fox News). She was elected in 2000. Just because you only started paying attention in this election cycle doesn’t mean that’s when politics began.

As for all the “carpetbagger” nonsense, your precious W. isn’t exactly FROM Texas… fake accent, “ranch” and cowboy talk notwithstanding. He went there to run for office when he saw an open seat. And who cares, anyway? Why all the obsession with where someone was born, and the idea that you have to be born on a specific patch of land in order to serve the people there? The irrational xenophobia in this country is way out of control. As long as my senator works for my state’s interests, I couldn’t care less where he or she happened to have been born. Intelligent and dedicated public officials come from everywhere.

God, the ignorance shown on these threads is almost comical. The same tired cliches and long-disproved talking points, over and over again. Don’t you ever get bored with parroting nonsense that you heard someone on TV say 10 years ago? Don’t tell me… and Hillary killed Vince Foster, right? *yawn*

Why the good people of New York put up with the political machines that put out-of-state carpetbaggers in office as their “representatives” is beyond comprehension. A senator from New York should at the very least be “from” New York, born and bred, and have a true vested interest in serving on behalf of the people who populate this great state. Send the Clintons from whence they came. Draft a native New Yorker who loves the whole state, not just the City. Return to our roots and pick someone who is really interested in New York and helping New Yorkers have a real voice in the Senate, not a puppet.

Hilary will leave behind some large shoes to fill.This will be tough act to follow but I think Christine Quinn is more than qualified and up to the demands of the job.
Thank God Obama had the common sense to choose Hillary for SoS.Now I can sleep at night knowing she’ll still be answering that 3 a.m. call.

As always, the Clinton haters are out in force. Just browse through these comments and it’s clear that a few have too much time on their hands & spend much of it hating Hillary & Bill Clinton! Barack Obama made an outstanding choice in selecting Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. She is perfectly suited to the role given her political resume & her global fame. I for one look forward to her representing the USA around the world. As for her replacement in the US Senate, I seriously doubt Bill Clinton has any interest in this role. And given that men already dominate US politics, Hillary Clinton’s place in the US Senate should be taken over by another woman. The last thing we need is yet another man in politics…And I’m a male.

Somehow I’m reminded of something my cat once did in my shoe. I think ‘it’ would have made a better senator for the good people of new york.

Hill-Billy can’t be approved as appointed unless the Democratic Congress changes a few rules retroactively. He two noteable accomplishments are embroilment in an Arkansas real estate scandal and her failed heath plan. Her overseas experiences consists of flying and vacationing at our expense. She has represented NY by running for President and not doing her job in the Senate. Her primary goal seems to be just to be ‘in front of the camera’. She did not even have the guts to leave her miscreant husband which any self-respecting women would have done. Why appoint someone like that! Just shows how feckless Obama is and how the majority of Americans are unhappily going to get what they voted for. What a shame! And those of us that voted against him are still going to have to put up with this……Ole Will R. said, “America is strong enough to survive any President.” I hope he was correct!

Reading the comments reminded me that I voted for George Bush twice. And, I would have loved to vote for him again. But, in my opinion, a vote for George is a vote against the United States of America. Your comments are nothing but comdemnation of what this country stands for, which is freedom and democracy. Well, I should have known.

Can’t imagine that he’d do it, but Bill Clinton would be tops.
