Of course she is. These niggling little details will be overlooked.

I wonder if we've seen the last of Caribou Barbie?

Last I heard, Skybird was taking her out on a date. I'm told he took her to a restaurant called 'F**K your Republic, get your act together'.

There's a dream. But it should be so. No more crooks in politics.

I'm telling ya, Obama has Clinton checkmated. I'm giving her a year before she is forced to resign...

If you guys are really concerned that Michael Schumacher, the Government of Norway, and the National Opera of Paris are going to have a sway in American foreign policy because they gave charitable donations to a not-for-profit humanitarian aid organization founded by the husband of the next Secretary of State, I dunno what to tell you.

I think that if Hillary Clinton really has designs on the White House for 2012 or later then so much the better. That contest will hold her accountable for her actions as Secretary of State and will keep her on her best behaviour for the next few years

Yes, deals were made as they would have been no matter who was chosen or who was the president-elect. The whole game is deals and rewards. Always has been.

Clinton(H) was a solid campaigner. In any other year she probably would have won. If she succeeds as SOS why not run in 2012?
