These Rumors about SOS: If Hillary is not named SOS will it get the Hillaryites mad as Hell?
I think that these rumors will be problematic if Sen. Clinton is not named SOS. it will create division and the PUMA's will be out in full force. I think that Hillary will be a wonderful SOS and her selection will cause much joy and unity in the party. But if she were not named to be SOS I am afraid that we may have the Primaries fight all over again. Just my opinion.
4. The Obama team would have to make it clear what happened.
If this is pure BS created by Andrea Mitchell, then they should simply state that they have no idea where the information came from and they suspect the media is just making up things to get attention. Republicans are great at blaming the media. Dems aren't but I'm hoping Obama will manage the media as well as President as he did as a candidate.
10. Ugh. Give me a break. The only thing that pisses her supporters off is the bashing that goes on here

Where have you seen us on DU advocating that Hillary become SOS?!? I've seen many Hillary supporters here say that she's fine remaining in the Senate. The division is caused by assholes who attack Hillary.
21. Thank you MetricSystem, you are exactly right!
I don't care either way what happens.
But all of this bashing and Clinton's are the evil incarnates now trying to take over the Obama administration is really getting on my nerves and just proving how politically naive some DUers are...if Hillary is SoS, it's going to be because Obama CHOSE her..........geebus!!!!!!!!!!!
40. Yes, they won't let up. I used to like Hillary, but the manic arrogant pushiness

of her supporters is all too reminiscent of this shower of Republicans. But I love the diffident, kindly tone of the OP. A real pro. He knows how stir up the pot and raise the pressure.
30. Lovely. Even now, people love to pretend there are PUMAs.
I would prefer Hillary stay in the senate instead of serving as SOS. Even better, she should be nominated as a SCOTUS justice if the opportunity arises.
But in whatever capacity, she will continue to SERVE HER COUNTRY more than any of us do.
This week is our fourth quarter 2008 fund drive. Democratic Underground is a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!
I would rather not see her relinquish her senate seat to be in Obama's cabinet taking orders from him and serving for as long as he wishes. I want her to be in a position to express her thoughts freely and steer her ship in whichever way she sees fit.
