April 1, 200422 yr Rumours are circulating that Kerry wants Bill Clinton to be the Secretary of State in his administration. How crazy would that be?!!? What does the Secretary of State do?
April 1, 200422 yr Author What does the Secretary of State do? Think Colin Powell. Probably the most important cabinet position, they usually are the ones that schooze with foreign countries to get what we want pushed forward on the agendas of the world, including the UN. There's much more to it then that but that's the short answer.
April 1, 200422 yr Probably the most important cabinet position, they usually are the ones that schooze with foreign countries to get what we want pushed forward on the agendas of the world, including the UN. That was one of Clinton's strong points. Having family overseas, I often heard about how much he was liked there (Europe).
April 1, 200422 yr Author Hmm, I wonder which Bush aide started that rumour If Bush's campaign is that stupid, they certainly won't win in '04. If this is serious, then Kerry will get votes just because of Clinton. They love that guy.
April 1, 200422 yr The thing is, as bad of a President as Clinton was, I have no doubt that he would be an excellent SOS.
April 1, 200422 yr He is still too controversial. I could see Kerry floating a Mrs. Clinton rumour. Kerry needs left leaning GOPers to support his campaign. He will not get that by standing too close to Mr. Clinton. I could see Kerry using BC as a kind of "Super Ambassador" in key hot spots around the world. It would preserve Clinton's Presidential aire. Dropping down to SoS would take away from the Presidential mystique.
