She's definetely due some power position, but being a Senator from New York is too good to pass up for a cabinet post. Some position in the Senate leadership, perhaps Majority leader, could bring drastic changes to the way business in done in Washington and where the money goes. We can only hope.

Hillary for healthcare czar! Hillary for something. She's got good ideas, even if she lacks in charisma. Obama needs to announce her into a cabinet position. Hillary for transportation czar!

Hillary has the potential to do such things herself. If she keeps her attention on real solutions to our nation's problems (mass transit, sensible growth patterns, etc), she will be able to do great things.

Good for her. Of course I'm also glad that she's suffered due punishment (not winning the Dem nomination) for her vote for the Iraq War. With that bit of justice out of the way, plus this new good work, I think I'm ready to count myself a supporter of hers.
