Safe bet: Clinton is ‘in’
According to the Politico today: “Exclusive: Clinton could be named next week.” And I have to admit: I’m absolutely thrilled by the idea.
Yes, I’ve “critiqued” her campaign on several occasions, but that in no way diminishes my admiration of and respect for the Senator.
She is one tough cookie — a woman to be admired.
I am so happy that she will be such a prominent part of the Obama administration and will be in charge of rebuilding our country’s relationships and reputation in the world.
I got my start in politics in high school (yes, there is a point to this nostalgic dip). It started with Model UN and eventually led to campaign and party politics. Being in Model UN brought out a part of me I never knew exisited and back then, I thought I wanted to be the first female secretary of state.
Well, obviously, Madeline Albright beat me to it. And then along came Condi (we won’t go there right now). But now … Hillary.
I can’t imagine anyone I’d rather see in that position. And I find it extremely endearing and respectful of President-elect Obama to ask her.
It’s not official yet, but I feel very certain that this will be one item included on my list of things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving.
