[olkaz]

This thing is over, and we need her against McCain.

That is all.

1. I'm on a Samantha Power book binge

Just finished Chasing the Flame - great book!

I'm now up to Rwanda section of Problem from Hell.

4. I'm going to have to check those out.

My book list is a mile long. There's never enough time.

14. Chasing the Flame made me think and rethink my notions on foreign policy

it is such a fantastic journey.

And I agree - bring Samantha back!

[olkaz]

2. Oh come on, three recs and no comments?

This incredibly intelligent and capable young woman needs to be involved again. She has been instrumental to the campaign.

3. I agree! Bring her back!

She is brilliant!

5. Yes.... she is a very valuable asset.... our next sec. of state

[cascadiance]

13. That or UN Secretary, which I think might target her skill set more...

Secretary of State might be a bit broad for her to step into at this point, especially given her earlier "incident" which some might feel hurts her to be qualified as Secretary of State. I think though that she'd be an EXCELLENT representative to the UN to help us restore our position of integrity on the global stage. She'd get a lot of respect there, and it would groom her there to become Secretary of State later should that open up after she's gotten experience there.

8. haha, you beat me

It struck me this morning out of the blue.

I hope the campaign does the right thing, and hope she's available.

9. as a few others pointed out...

They probably want to wait for the good feelings to return, and the memories to fade a little more...

Or for Hill to officially drop

THEN coast is clear...I think.

:hide:

10. amen - Sam Powers for SoS OR... maybe she'd want to be a NY Senator

although she's a tad over qualified

[kenny blankenship]

11. She has been vindicated I'd say

[mmonk]

12. Samantha Power will be back.

Count on it.

[grassfed]

15. YES

[applegrove]

16. I like her. Bring her back. Let her out. Forgive her. She said it herself:

she had no experience with politics and took it all a little too close to her heart by calling Clinton a monster (not a verbatim quote). That is understandable. And if you are a novice in a campaign I could see how one could get caught up in the partisanship.
