My take from both the speaches.....

They are in serious negotiations.... Both HEAVILY mentioned Health Care.. That's Clinton's baby that she couldn't get the first time.. I think she wants revenge.. I think she and he were referring to a cabinet in Health... As well...debts to be paid off, etc. I think that she wants to take that on and win.. because the last time she was unsuccessful.. With a responsive President and a majority House and Senate, she may finally get her triuphant moment.. AND I'm sorry folks, giving Universal Healthcare to America, finally, would be one of the MOST historic things that Sen. Clinton could do.
From the over emphasis of both speaches.. I believe that would be her main role within the next admin....

would be a huge step down from a senator IMHO

...then it surely shouldn't represent a step down.

in my opinion, is better than his. Of course, my preference in health care plans was for Kucinich.
