CINCINNATI (Reuters) - In what was billed as the Year of the Women in U.S. politics, the choice of Hillary Clinton as President-elect Barack Obama's secretary of state somehow seems both more and less than her supporters had hoped for.
"I wouldn't say I'm mollified, I'm just happy she's got something she'll be good at," said Barbara Hynd, 69, a retired research scientist and Clinton fan in Cincinnati. "I think she would have made a good president."
Clinton's rise to one of the most powerful positions in her former rival's cabinet caps a year of dreams and disappointments for her often fervent supporters: Would the New York senator and former first lady be president? No. Would she be vice-president? Nope. Surely she'll be in his cabinet? Yes.
Is that good enough? Perhaps. Continues...

Your questions are good, but your answers are wrong.
Question: Would the former First Lady be president?
Answer: Not this year.
Question: Would she be VP? Answer: Sooner than you think.
I'm not in the mood for putting lipstick on a pig...she serves at HIS pleasure, no matter what the people who want to make this a "victory" think...Richardson at Commerce is going to have more power to do a lot of things that we won't like....Clinton will take the grief from the media....and nothing will be Obama's fault....mark my words.
By the way...very nice blog!!
