I heard Thom Hartman float the idea of Hillary as leader of the Senate

[SpiralHawk]

At least I think it was him -- was on truck radio in heavy traffic earlier today.

At any rate, what I heard was him outlining what an effective and historic leader she could be in the U. S. Senate as an ally to Barack and the D Party.

It really made sense to me.

Step back from your Presidential ambiltions, Hillary, and see what other grand opportunity awaits you and the nation.

It is time for your candidacy to be over.

1. Poor ole Harry Reid.. about to be roadkill under the bus

who did he support:rofl:

[Kahuna]

2. That won't happen. President Obama won't allow that. nt

[Skink]

3. That's an Idea.

[newmajority]

4. She would be Harry Reid in a pantsuit

Another useless Senate leader preventing any worthwhile legislation from being passed.

Reid and Pelosi need to go, but their replacements actually need to be capable of DOING something.

[gkhouston]

5. Hard to believe. I'm thinking she will have burned so many bridges by

the time she finally bows out that she would be ineffective/unwanted.

on edit: IMO, the Clintons are burning their credibility as well as their personal fortune on this race.

6. Hillary as Senate Leader is the dumbest idea of the silly season.

It's as if someone said "hey, why don't they just give her the senate?"

She's BEAT!! She's pissed off most of her colleagues. The last thing the Democratic senators want is to reward her massively disastrous campaign to realign their world with her at the top. She's about as popular there as she is at DU.

It's never going to happen. She'll be eye balling NY Governor when she can't get on the ticket as VP. She'll be a pariah in the senate when she returns. People won't let her take photos with them in it now.

7. agreed .

[billyoc]

8. "Leaver of the Senate", I think he meant.

:rofl:

[Writer]

9. I think she's too good for that.

[Apollo11]

10. Hillary would be 100 times better than Harry Reid

Harry Reid put his arm around Nancy Pelosi to shut her up in the middle of a joint press conference, and Jon Stewart called him "Uncle McFeely Hands". Hillary would be 100 times better! B-)

[dansolo]

11. I don't want her in any position of power

As Senate Majority leader, she will have a lot of influence on what Obama can accomplish. She has demonstrated that she cannot play nice with others. I don't want her playing games with all the things that Obama will try and accomplish. I don't want any DLCer as Senate majority leader, period.

[thereismore]

12. Senate Majority you mean? Pres of the Senate is VP. nt

[shadowknows69]

13. I was all for this early on in the campaign

But she has proven she doesn't have the Democratic Party's best interests in mind. I hope someone will challenge her Senate seat, and if she thinks NY will have her as Governor I think she's dreaming.
