The wife of Vice President-elect Joe Biden let it slip that her husband had a pick of two jobs in the Obama administration.

Jill Biden said President-elect Barack Obama gave Biden the choice of being secretary of state or vice president.

Does that mean that if he had of picked Sect. of State then Hilliry would have been VP ! Thank you Joe

That was pretty funny. All the pundits just smiled about it, and dismissed it as irrelevant (which, it is). BUT, (and I know I'm inviting counterpoint) I doubt there would have been that polite reaction had they been Republicans.

I can see them saying on Hardball or whatever, "On the eve of the inauguration of the Republican president John McCain, evidence of backroom deals and doubt about Sarah Palin as the wife of Secretary of State nominee ______ reveals that John McCain offered the vice presidency to Senator/Governor/Ambassador ____ prior to naming Palin as his running mate. What does this mean for the working relationship between President-Elect McCain and his vice president, Sarah Palin?"

First talking head: "Well, I think it demonstrates what we've known all along, that a Vice President Palin was added to the ticket to motivate conservative base voters, and that she lacks the experience and gravitas to actually govern. I think this revelation does not bode well for her political future."

And so on.

That may be true, Tim, but as we can see, it goes both ways. All the excusing and defending that we've seen over the last eight years, how quickly it turns into accusing and attacking. Not impressive on either side.

It's not. That's why I don't trust reporters.

Will she be too old to run for pres in 2016? Since Biden will be about 74 then he won't run, but at 69 Hillary just might give it a try if she doesn't ruin herself in her current job between now and then. Or will she be too old?
