I Want to Say That Hillary Clinton is a Fine Senator And Will Continue to Lead
From her position on the Foreign Relations Committee. She is my Senator and I have every intention of voting for her again the next time around.

I hope the supporters of the other candidates recognize that opposition to her Presidential nomination does not mean that she will not be an excellent representative for the Democratic Party for many years to come.

I also hope that the burden of preparing for the campaign will free her to vote and speak in ways that are closer to her heart, because I imagine that she is much less hawkish than she feels she needs to be.

I realize that the race is hardly over, but I want to make it absolutely clear that my support of Obama as President does not mean that I am against her having a prominent place in the Democratic Party.

1. And I want to say that she is an accessory to war crimes
and should face justice in the Hague with the rest of the captiulators, as well as the WH.

2. I think she's a good senator also. Some insightful DUer
had the considered opinion that she could make a wicked SC justice. That sounded good to me, too.

6. now that I like
I like HRC better when she's not involved in politics. She is a smart, hard-working woman - SC is an interesting idea and she's young enough she would have quite an impact.

7. Now that is an idea that I would support.
She would make a really great justice of the Supreme Court. I would love
to have her brilliant mind working for us in the highest court in our country
Watch out Scalia, Alito, Roberts, and Thomas!

3. What he said
It's not easy running for president. If the worst we do is Hillary as the nominee.....
I feel great about the Democrats.

Thank You Senator Clinton

4. If we could ever get her out of the Corp pockets
she would make an amazing president.

The sad fact is that the Presidency is for sale, as long as you have the blessings of the correct people to go with it.

I hate our system right now.

5. She's NOT on Foreign Relations
She's my senator too - you must not be following her much if you don't know her committees.

http://foreign.senate.gov/about.html
Biden = chair, Dodd = a senior member, Obama = a junior member

Perhaps you meant Armed Services

List of her committees

I miss my Biden.
