It cannot be a good sign that a democrat-controlled Senate concerns Ms. Rodham-Clinton over a cabinet confirmation. I thought everyone loved her....
Well you know the saying, "It takes a village". Now where did I hear that before?
SHES A CLOSET REPUBLICAN JUST LIKE HER OLD MAN WAS.
What a waste of time and money. We all know she will be confirmed!
I believed in You... I believed in Bill years ago. Now! Today?
Borack Obama.... You sold your Country to the "Highest Bidder!
Maybe Democracy forever... Venus in "Blue Jeans"! Turned into Basheba! Just another Book.... Fiction.
the milquetoast senators will ask her how she slept, did she get enough to eat and drink before the confirmation hearings and is she perfectlly comfortable or should they get her a pillow for her chair! after she coyily responds oh yeees – i'm fine will they say "ok, well i guess we know all we need to to confirm you – good luck madam queen – call us if there is anything we can do to make your life easy" if however this had been a republican they would have been sent straight to jail for lying, obstruction of justice in hiding files, accepting illegal monies and having her lackies do her dirty work and lying to congress and lawyers everywhere. oh well – welcome to washington!

Hillary Clinton is more than qualified to be Secretary of State, so I hope the confirmation hearings dwell on the topics of what she considers to be the biggest issues in the world, how she intends to approach them, whether she will prioritize them, and what capable people she intends to bring on board – or as civilian advisors – to aid her in their resolution.
She's a good attorney - doubt they can tell her very much. She'll do fine.
Secretary of State Clinton and CIA Obama..., be very afraid America.
Oh come on. Even though I didn't vote for Hillary, I can understand the fact that she is an intelligent woman. You are mistaking her for Sarah Palin!
You're a jerk!
The previous comment "you're a jerk" referred to "nom deplume"s comments, not Sen. Clinton who I supported for president and admire very much.

Who is paying for all these advisors–hard-working taxpayers?
Why does she need to prep for the hearings? All she has to do is kiss Obamas backside and she will get confirmed.
She knows in her heart that she would have handily defeated McCain as well. All she had to do was the get by Obama. Goodness, it must be a difficult pill to swallow.
You will do fine, Hillary.
This no doubt should be interesting...
10 people? Wow! That's 9 too many to help her lie. Did she pay that 7million yet?
She will make a better Sec. of State than she would have made a POTUS. Right person for the right slot......thats the key to success.
I wish her all the luck...in trying to fill "C.Rice's " shoes! She will need some, that's only... if she gets confirmed!
To "reality king"; Have been very afraid for the last 8 years. Good to have a respite from fear within my own country.
I hope one of them is a Hollywood make-up artist. She needs all the help she can get.
All the best for Hillary!
I guess it does take a village.
