I hope she plays an important role in shaping our nations future and I hope President Obama ( I initially typed Senator Obama) gives her a very prominent role

Govern from the middle? How about throw the right/left paradigm out the window and focus on progress? That's what Obama has a mandate for, moving us forward, not getting trapped in these old definitions. I think Hillary is well suited for making this a reality at the legislative level... When she defined herself as a progressive rather than a liberal in the primaries, she let on what she has proven many times since: She understands that this change is about something much larger and newer than these stagnant old right vs. left swamps that we have been caught in for so long, its about real change. I feel glad Obama won the presidency, but I also feel like she's a person who could pioneer some real change in congress, starting with energy and moving on to healthcare, two incredibly important areas where I think she has been a visionary leader.

3. Don't feel bad for Hillary
She will now have the opportunity to do her best work, unencumbered by the past.

She is going to do great things in an Obama administration. Watch and see.

6. What is this---guilt?
You'd be feeling better if you hadn't hated her so much. She never deserved it.

7. I'd love to see her in charge of Health Care..
I know she wants to stay in the senate.. but the one thing I liked better on her then Obama was her health care plan. And, it's something she's more then experienced with...

I don't know if she'd take it - but I'd love to see her there.. because it might actually happen.

8. She'll be an important figure in the next four years.
I'd back her as Majority Leader, or(as I've said before)as a Supreme Court nominee. In that capacity, I think she'd be the next Earl Warren, and if nothing else it'd be worth nominating her just to see the Right's heads explode.

9. Again, she's explicitly stated she's not interested in the SC. Can somebody please tell me where
that came from? I've seen far too many people say this to believe people are just thinking of this on their own.

10. I don't think it came from any one place. A lot of people just think it makes sense.
And if we had Justice Clinton...well, we'd also have Senator Robert F. Kennedy, jr. What's not to like?

Anyway, it probably won't happen, but would it be bad if it did? It's not like the Court is a demotion.

13. I don't feel bad for her at all
I'm relieved and happy she lost. I hope she turns into an authentic person now that she sees being a phony got her nowhere.

18. You obviously don't know the woman or you wouldn't have made
such an asinine comment.

16. Senator Clinton will shephard Universal Health Care through Cong
ress for President Obama's signature. Yay!

Hillary doesn't need a new job, she can be a big player where she is.
