    Hillary and Daily Kos

    I think Joan the one thing I learned during the primary and the campaign for the general is Hillary Clinton is one of us. She isn't her husband, she has her nose to the grindstone, she studies, she is smart (those are things I already knew) and she wants to do what is in the best interest of the US. She is a strange yet fantastic pick for Secretary of State. She is a great advocate for women. I think she will be great if she decides this is what she wants.

    As a supporter of Obama's from the beginning I don't think the Kos crowd needs to be thrown a bone. I want to see what happens here. I am curious to see who else he picks and thank god he is using people who worked for Bill Clinton, look they were smart and competent and that is what American's are looking for, smart and competent, especially competent. Bill Clinton's Administration was competent! They know how to run a government. Good, that happens to be what we need.
