5. Hillary will stay in the Senate where she can get shit done.
You want a healthcare czar, why not Elizabeth Edwards (if she's feeling up to it)?

7. Barack said, though, that Hillary would be playing a BIG role in health care.
Might he have been hinting at something like that? I thought so at the time. I think she would be good for such a position, IF (if, if, if) she learned from the first time around. She's very passionate about it and obviously knows a lot about it. We need some major changes to health care, and if she could help get that done, I would be WAY on board with that.

8. The Clintons can't be pandered to. She'd never do it.
Obama would never insult her by offering her that.

9. Yes, she's going to give up a powerful senate seat
to serve in some quasi cabinet position.

17. I think she should at LEAST be offered Sec. of Health and Human Services.
It may not be the most glamorous cabinet position, but with a Dem congress and a Dem president, she might be able to get some really good things accomplished.

She may not take it, and if she doesn't it'll be because she feels she could accomplish more in the Senate. But I think it should be offered.

22. I think Obama has made his feelings for Hillary and her supporters quite clear. I would be highly
surprised if he offered her anything in his cabinet. In fact, I would be shocked.

23. Me too.
Just like: "senator Clinton would be on anybody's short list". When she wasn't even considered, vetted nor was she asked for advice (as was Chuck Schummer).
