Comments on: Clinton For Senate?


by ausus-2009 November 26, 2008 9:49 PM EST: What is it with carpetbaggers moving into New York''s Senate seats? First Bobby Kennedy, then Hillary and now Bill. Doesn''t America''s second most populous state have any home-grown talent?; Reply to this comment


by dilonsiel November 26, 2008 9:30 PM EST: What in the world would be Bill Clinton''''s motivation to accept the senate seat if offered? The Clinton foundation raises vast sums of money and requires global travel. As a sitting senator, the senatorial pay check would not adequately compensate him for his time. Anyone appointed to serve out Hillary''''s term will prove to be a reliable democratic vote. Bill Clinton would also prove to be a distraction to the administration. This is a "lose-lose" scenario.

Is this the unofficial obituary for Hillary''s career?; Reply to this comment


by mizzerz November 26, 2008 6:59 PM EST: If Bill would get the job as senator of New york, he would not get to make the speeches for the overseas money. It would be good for hillary, Obama and Bill. It is a perfect fit.

He should not be allowed any senate pages or interns though; Reply to this comment

by brundage3 November 26, 2008 6:10 PM EST: Bill Clinton is a great mind. His presence in the Senate would be good for ANY state he represents. New york AND America would be well served if he would accept the job!; Reply to this comment


by lakini980 November 26, 2008 5:53 PM EST: I would welcome Bill Clinton anytime, anywhere. I just don''t get it with these people who can''t remember what it was like 8 years ago when the Clintons were in the White House and all was well with this great land. Sure, things were not perfect, but they were a heck of a lot better than they are now. Bill Clinton wasn''t perfect either, as none of us are, but he wasn''t stupid, and he wasn''t a puppet, which is more than we can say about the leadership of the last 8 years. I''d rather have a president (or senator) who has a weakness for the ladies than a president (or senator) who has a weakness of brain cells. I think Bill would make a wonderful senator and Hillary will make a fantastic Secretary of State, and Mr. Obama is GOING TO BE A GREAT PRESIDENT.; Reply to this comment


by iamfreeru November 26, 2008 5:52 PM EST: Help is on its way? With whose money? It will run out and then what? Obama will be standing alone looking like the fool with whom you elected,saying :
"...but I wasn''t experianced to run this country, why did you choose me?" Never his fault. Never your fault, either, right??; Reply to this comment

by martin9p2 November 26, 2008 5:27 PM EST: He would be a junior Senator and would have to wait years to chair a good committee. I don''t think Bill would stomach that.; Reply to this comment
