Hilary confirmed.

The Senate voted 94-2, with Sen. David Vitter, R-La., and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., voting against. Clinton was sworn in at 5:29 p.m. ET, and immediately afterward resigned from the Senate.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. said the country needs an advocate on the world stage, and, "There's no better advocate than Hillary Clinton."

Must be all those other republicans voting for her did so because....umm let's not speculate.

Hillary is Obama's biggest mistake. She wont last 4 years in that job.

Between her and Bill, the Ethics rules Obama just made will do her in.
They aren't able to keep their hands out of special interests and pay offs.

I agree.

Seeing how she will undoubtedly run against him in the next election, I think he gave her just enough room to hang herself.

Welp...I guess you need to include your republican gods in that assessment...only 2 voted no.

You can't run against an incumbent while you're in the same party.

Oh?

Primaries!!!

I'm not so sure, I think she'll wait until 2016. I don't think she'd seriously challege the encumbant, the party has her leashed now.

There was no Republican National Presidential Primary in 2004, any clue as to why? see above

LMAO!!

The United States of America (U.S.) Republican Party presidential nomination, 2004 was the series of primaries and caucuses that determined who was to be chosen at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City as the Republican Party's candidate in the U.S. presidential election, 2004. Incumbent President George W. Bush, the presumptive nominee, won the nomination without significant opposition.



Running
George W. Bush of Texas announced he would campaign for re-election in mid-2003; he faced no major challengers. He then went on, throughout early 2004, to win every nomination contest, including a sweep of Super Tuesday, beating back the vacuum of challengers and maintaining the recent tradition of an easy primary for incumbent Presidents (the last time an incumbent was seriously challenged was when Senator Ted Kennedy challenged Jimmy Carter for the Democratic nomination in 1980). One interesting fact was that Bush managed to raise US$130 million in 2003 alone, and expected to set a national primary fund-raising record of $200 million by the time of the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City.
Blake Ashby of Missouri had strong showings in the New Hampshire primary and on Mini-Tuesday compared to the other candidates.
Richard Bosa of New Hampshire placed second and gained over 1% of the vote in the New Hampshire primary.
John Buchanan of Florida placed third and also received over 1% of the vote in the New Hampshire primary.
Edie Bukewihge of California also ran, seeking to defeat George W Bush in the primary election. However, her candidacy had been largely ignored by the party, and there was not an active campaign for the Republican nomination.
Michael Callis of New Hampshire was a top ten finisher in the New Hampshire primary.
Robert Haines of New Hampshire placed fifth in the New Hampshire primary.
Millie Howard of Ohio was a top ten finisher in the New Hampshire primary.
Tom Laughlin of California was a top ten finisher in the New Hampshire primary.
John Rigazio of New Hampshire placed fourth and got over 1% of the vote in the New Hampshire primary.
Bill Wyatt of California placed second in the majority of Republican primaries. He was a top ten finisher in the New Hampshire Primary and gained just over 10% of the vote in Oklahoma on Mini-Tuesday.
Withdrew
Donnie Kennedy of Louisiana - Withdrew in September 2003
Yehanna Malone of Washington DC - Withdrew in August 2002
Robert Mills of Texas - Withdrew in March 2003
Ken Stremsky of New Hampshire - Withdrew in March 2003
Senator Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, an opponent of the war in Iraq, Bush's tax cuts, drilling in ANWR, and much of Bush's social agenda, considered challenging Bush in the New Hampshire primary in the fall of 2003. He decided not to run, after the capture of Saddam Hussein in December 2003

35!
Really???

Play nice.

Unlike most of the media and a goodsegment of the population that dislikes Hillary, I personally think she and Obama respect each other. I also don't see her trying to do anything to sabotage Obama.

If she does then and only then would my respect for her falter.

She's a Clinton.
The Clintons will sale their own for a dollar....
Ethical is not in their vocabulary. It was replaced years ago by "YOU SCRATCH MY BACK ,ILL SCRATCH YOURS, and what will you do for me."

Obama being elected does not remove the Clintons greed.

If Clinton would have won the Dem nomination.
John McCain would be President today!

I speculate this may be an example of "keeping your friends close and your enemies closer". Personally, I believe Mrs. Clinton would be more qualified for the Secretary of Agriculture position... cattle futures being her forte.

where were the other 4 vote eligible

the pay should be vote related unless they vote yea or nay their pay should be reduced by the percentage of votes they did not make a decision on if they vote yea or na on 80% of the votes then their pay should be reduced 20%

just a thought

but hey

what do i know

but she is out of the senate (guess that may be one of the 4)

i do not think she gets her seat back if he fires her or if she resigns

wonder if he is really that smart
