Clinton as Secretary of State?

Surprisingly I wouldn't oppose Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. After the drama and negativity of the entire election process, I developed a new respect for Clinton and her stance on most issues. As a rare gay Republican - I may have actually voted on the Democratic lines if Hillary had been a choice.

Her views make sense. Although she is pro-choice, she supports finding alternate methods of decreasing the necessity of abortions, rather than aggressively encouraging abortion as an answer to "unwanted" pregnancy. She has a long standing record of supporting LGBT issues. She is liberal and open-minded but not in the socialist way Obama trends towards.


So, hopefully Clinton finds her way into the new government. And with any luck, she'll have a positive influence on the Obama presidency and the future of this country. So - cankles or not - go Hillary.
