Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State?
Once you read the article, you will see there are whisperings within the Democratic party that she is not qualified for the position, having had little to no foreign policy experience.
While I don't necessarily disagree with the whisperings, it is amazing that Democrats think she may not be qualified, when she was the front runner for the most powerful person in the free world as recently as a few months ago.
Another former presidential candidate, John Kerry, of whom I am definitely not a fan, actually makes a lot more sense because at least he has significant experience in the Senate Foreign Relations committee. I don't agree with his policies, and I am happy he didn't become president (give me Obama over Kerry or Hillary any day), but at least hge can put a check mark next to experience.
