Re: Senator Clinton, meet Senator Clinton
Isn't this Gov. Paterson's call? He's black, and thus will do Obama's bidding. I think that's how Limbaugh's Law goes -- correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, Obama's only a mid-ranking Muslim, though, right? Surely bin Laden is calling all the shots.

I think Patterson will go for the non-Bill route. Its better for Obama and better for up and coming Democrats in NY state.

I don't know. It seems like another excellent excuse to further reign in Bill and use his intelligence somewhat productively rather than giving him the free time to get himself into trouble.

Re: Senator Clinton, meet Senator Clinton
How many presidents have taken lower-level government jobs after their terms were up?
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

I don't think Chief Justice is an inferior position to President.

Re: Senator Clinton, meet Senator Clinton
Yes and no. While there is a rock paper/scissors/paper thing going on with the various branches of government and none of the branches are actually under each other, the President is considered the figurehead. Also consider Chief Justice is merely leader of a group that can check and/or balance the President and/or Congress. He has no power to do so alone while the President is the sole member of the executive branch legally capable of exercising that branch's power and his branch is the only one capable of effecting policy at a moment's notice

Re: Senator Clinton, meet Senator Clinton
I can't think of any reason why Bill Clinton would turn this down if offered. Considering that Senators can stay in office into their eighties and nineties, he could dig himself into the Senate like a tick, becoming a major influence in the country.

Another name mentioned was Bloomberg, but apparently he doesn't want it.

Re: Senator Clinton, meet Senator Clinton
After 41 & 43, why not recall 42? Obama's already accused of bring the Clinton Administration on board wholesale in lieu of 'real change.'
Why not bring back the original? Talk radio and comics are dying for material. Bill can provide it; this we know.

Patterson has asked Caroline Kennedy.
