Implications are interesting, as she was tough on illegal immigration in AZ.

I lived their when she was elected.

She won by less than 1,000 votes. I doubt that a democrat will win that seat.

BTW who is we?

I'm glad I'm off the commissioning board in a few months.

She won by 12,000 votes the first time around. By over 400,000 in 2006. But I agree that it will be tough to get another democrat in there.

Governor Rendell just met with Obama ostensibly with his hand out asking for states and major cities to get a piece of the bail out. Rendell has ruled out joining Obamas team until his term is over as it would mean a republican would replace him. But I think Rendell may just have his eyes on a position when one opens up.

Maybe Bill Richardson will go over to Arizona ... he's gonna need a job because Obama is going to give him a big fat nuthin'.

Hmmm, he's big on legalizing medical marijuana--he'd be an interesting choice for Director of Drug Policy. Or maybe Secretary of the Interior. They don't really have any obvious candidates lined up for that, and Richardson has some related experience.

Frankly, I'm getting annoyed by the Clintons. I have no patience with this "coy" act and I don't think Obama should, either. If Hillary can't make up her mind, then dump her and make Richardson Secretary of State.

As for Hillary, I think it was a Clinton leak, I doubt that she will really take SOS. Then there's all the Bill stuff. Who really paid for the library, will he have to stop giving million dollar speeches in foreign countries?

I think Napolitano has been doing a good job in AZ.
SNL will have a field day with Napolitano - and if "Janet Reno's" wardrobe is still in Costume, they'll be good to go.

LOL, you could be right about that. If they can find the right person to play her, it'll definitely be something to look forward to.
