    what if she tries to force him to do so? does that add to her appeal?

    what if obama considers selecting her and then she and her team start to selectively leak information out in order to pressure him to give her the spot because otherwise it would create a huge crack in the newly energized democratic party and make his actual first choice look like an also-ran?

    i was actually behind the idea of h. clinton as the secretary of state until it became obvious no decision had been made and that the clintons were using power moves by utilizing the suckers in the media to push their agenda. very similar to the way they tried to twist her arm to pick her for VP.

    i should point out that i'm a new yorker and voted for her for senate twice and would happily vote for her again for senate. but i am getting very very tired of the drama the clintons carry with them and their underhanded moves.
