A step further - COMPLETELY hypothetical - what if Hillary becomes SOS, & McCain Sec of Defense?

[Skip Intro]

Wtf would happen here?

Wtf would happen in our party, and the repuke party?

Wtf would happen to the Senate? (Would AZ replace McCain with another repuke, or a Dem? How sure is that?)

Wtf would happen in the country?

The world?

I have nothing but a gut feeling that this might be the way it works out.

So on a completely hypothetical tangent - what would happen?


as a disclaimer - I am in no way, IN NO WAY, comparing Hillary Clinton to John McCain, or pulling for McCain in any way.

1. IMNSHO, two steps too far.

We don't need DRAMA of keeping Bill in check. And we all know Bill would constantly step on HRC's efforts.

McCain? No way! No two people could have more desperate perspectives on foreign policy than Obama and McCain. McCain as Sec of Def is bizarre on face value alone.

2. McCain is no friend to the troops.

His record is clear. Unless Obama is insane, he will stay away from that one. Hill on the other had, I couldn't tell you.

[Cleita]

3. How about getting a peacenik for Secretary of Defense for a change. n/t

[opihimoimoi]

4. They gonna put the Ole Man in Charge of Military Prisons...perfect....

[Renew Deal]

5. What if Obama makes Bush Secretary of the Treasury?

What if the earth stops in its place tomorrow?

[Beacool]

6. The left's communal heads would explode,

the rest of the country would breath a sigh of relief that there would be some experienced people at the helm and that Obama can see past partisanship.

7. Bill will never release his financial info. re: his recent foreign dealings...thus

Hillary will not be able to serve in this Administration as Secretary of State.

Obama is mending fences with McCain (not that he is the one who needs to do this!). McCain will stay in the Senate, period.

Neither person will be in Barack's Cabinet, in my opinion.

8. Ain't. Gonna. Happen.

[nebenaube]

9. as far as I know neither has been asked or considered for anything

all bs about Hillery has been the echo chamber getting it's chain jerked.

[Occam Bandage]

10. Then Obama divides by zero and the nation collapses into a black hole. nt

[camera obscura]

11. **IF** McCain were in the administration, it shouldn't be anything to do with foreign policy

it should be something like Dept of the Interior. No way do we need that finger on the button.

[joshcryer]

12. I would laugh, manically.

DU would explode.

[and-justice-for-all]

13. "McCain Sec of Defense" !! A Fucking nightmare....

HELL to the FUCK NO.

[mascarax]

17. I agree with those eloquent words

McCain needs to retire and go away. He can go to Alaska and have it out with Palin. I don't care. But I want him gone.

There is absolutely NO reason for McCain to get offered anything. He doesn't deserve it - for a lot of reasons.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. I don't there would be anyway he'd select McInsane for SOD but maybe Secretary

of the Interior.

[always_saturday]

15. If Obama taps McKKKain for ANYTHING in his administration, I'll stop calling myself a democrat.

[blogslut]

16. I seriously doubt either will happen

n/t

[Starry Messenger]

18. What about Professor X for Soc. of State and Magneto for Sec. of Defense?

I'm just throwing that out there.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

19. Hillary for SOS is fine, McCain as SOD.....

NOT "change I can believe in". Sorry. Going by the views/positions espoused by McCain during the campaign on a purely practical level, there is no way that those two will see eye-to-eye on.........just about everything. Veteran's Affairs......maybe.....but then again he doesn't have a particularly good record on veteran's issues either, so............

Perhaps somebody should try suggesting that Obama nominate Donald Rumsfeld for SOD next? :eyes:
