What would you give Hillary in return for her support?

So, for fill-in-the-blank reason, the Obama campaign comes to you and asks you to decide what he should give Hillary to buy her active support for Mr. Obama. What do you pick? And why?

Admiral Valdemar · Post by **Admiral Valdemar** » 2008-06-25 06:55pm

A smack upside the head with a suitably large fish. I honestly don't want her doing any job that entails more than taking out the garbage, and even then the Secret Service better have her in sight 24/7.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for their conversation.

Hillary: So... remember all that money I spent slandering you during the primary? Thing is... I didn't actually manage to recover it, since my campaign never raised it and is now deeply in debt. Think you can give me a hand with that? Oh, incidentally, if you agree to help, many of those payments will go directly to me, since I loaned my campaign a lot of that money. Isn't it funny how these things work out?

Other: Ambassador to Asscrackistan, or whatever out-of-the-way shithole will take her so she can cool her heels for a few years while still technically "serving". Then, in 2016, if she's still squirrelly, she's welcome to try.

A recent political cartoon put her as the first ambassador to outer space, based onboard the international space station...

Supreme Court might not be that bad a spot for her. Puts another female on there, gives you a solid democrat spot, and what's best she's free from political concern.

There's a privious on this, the only way I consider her for Supreme Court is if it's because Obama went to the Supreme Court, announce he was going to make some changes and then shouted "Kālī Ma and rips Scalia's heart right out of his chest, then and only then would I consider her for a Supreme Court slot.

Hrm. That would make the plot to the book Larry Niven book "Footfall" go awfully differently...

On topic, I voted for the possibility to kiss Obama's ass and it would be a favor if she got the chance. After all the bogus slander she made, she can sit down and shut up for a while.

I voted for her to kiss Obama's ass but the Supreme Court thing sounds like an interesting idea.

I voted other for ambassador to ____stan minus Afghanistan. Would be wholly unrealistic as her supporters will screech but it's what I want.

Assuming we actually have to give her a position in the Executive Branch, then I would give her something like Secretary of Labor, or better yet, Secretary of Health and Human Resources (since Health Care has always been a big issue there, it's a way for Obama to find a position for her that doesn't offend either her or her supporters).

Anguirus · Post by **Anguirus** » 2008-06-25 09:01pm

I read an editorial that made a pretty good case for her on the Supreme Court. She actually HAS the background for that, much more so than for the presidency.

I'm bitter about her shit in the election too (she really and honestly lost my respect there, probably for good) but I think it's better to give her a job she won't fuck up rather than slight her and offend her supporters. There are only a few crazies, in the grander scheme of things, that are defecting to McCain, but if Obama really shafts her then her diehards will be encouraged to sit out the election and hurt him.

I doubt he will block her out out of spite though, he's been very concilatory this week. Much more so than the Clintons have been back to him, which just cements him on the moral high ground.

Supreme Court. Someone has to balance out the right wing dickery of Alito, Scalia, Thomas and Roberts with left wing dickery to maintain the system of checks and balances.

I'd help her retire her campaign debt, only for tactical reasons though. If my top donors contribute the maximum donation to her, then it should persuade her top donors to contribute the max donation to us.

Jack shit. She's proven to be nothing but a greedy, self-centered, incompetent bitch. That's, perhaps, putting it nicely.

The human ambassador to the Cylons sounds even nicer. She will be out of sight, out of mind.

Somewhere where she can be rushed to her car under sniper fire. She has prior experience; it'd be a doddle.

Teebs · Post by **Teebs** » 2008-06-26 06:59am

I'd give her secretary of state for health or something similar. It's a firmly subordinate position but panders to her apparent interests and so keeps her supporters happy.

Solauren · Post by **Solauren** » 2008-06-26 08:33am

Agreed to quietly pay off her debts that are not to herself, and give her an ambassador post later.

Then make her ambassador to someplace like say, China or South Korea.

Pelranius · Post by **Pelranius** » 2008-06-26 08:48am

But what if she pisses off the Chinese? We don't need an angry nuclear weapons power, at least not under President Obama. President McCain would have different ideas, I daresay.

Give her the Vice-Presidency. That makes it certain McCain will win.
