Clinton eyes Biden for secretary of state

[No Vested Interest]

10. US Ambassador to the United Nations might be a better or more realistic position

for our beloved Joe Biden.

Sec. of State demands constant flying around the world and putting out diplomatic fires as before or as they erupt.
That's an awful lot to ask of a man who's spent virtually his whole life in public service and who in his mid-70's may want or need to cut back on that life.
The life of US ambassador to the UN is somewhat more predictable and doesn't require as hectic a lifestyle as Sec. of State.
