He would be effective in several of them, like Commerce, Education, or HHS, but Labor is where he would shine.

DWS will have a place, maybe even Rahm and Harold Ford.

If Clinton wins the nomination and the General election, I think he should serve alongside Warren in what I hope is a Democratic majority.

for Bernie. He may want to retire to enjoy the family, too. A lot of that generation in Washington are. Clinton took time from the political scene for a while to spend time with Chelsea and the grandbaby. It's what some folks do.

On PBS once about the royalty in england, apparently at one time the king had to talk to people lobbying him for various things nearly every waking moment. The kings bathroom had no door, it was just an alcove to sit while people talked to him. Maybe she needs a bathroom attendant of some kind?

he is running, after all..

but if he does not get the nom, he would be most effective staying in the senate. he would make a good sec of hhs or interior, but his powerful presence in the senate will be needed after the bloodbath that will be congress 2016

by the votes. Decide by the primary vote numbers who is VP and who is President. They both have said let the voters decide, so let us please.

I think that will unite the party and is the best we can do
