Who Will Replace Hillary?

Now that President Barack Obama has won a second term, speculation begins on the nextforeign-policy leaders. U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice had been a favorite to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is retiring. But Rice might not get confirmed by the Senate. Republicans have criticized her for suggesting an angry, spontaneous mob attacked the Benghazi consulate in September. Obama could make Rice his National Security Advisor without going to the Senate. The Associated Press writes other contenders for the top State position include the current National Security Advisor Tom Donilon or, in a spirit of bipartisanship, former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel or former GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman.

Would really love for Hillary to stay on but thinking John Kerry, Huntsman would do well also.

Hillary can not get out of there fast enough. She would have been gone like yesterday if at all possible. I doubt she will ever show her face as SS again. She's humiliated and right so after the Benghazi debacle. She's been hiding ever since it was proven what a bold faced liar she really is.

Hillary does need to stay. Only so she can answer questions about the fiasco in Libya.

And then taken to court on charges, along with others who are responsible.

4:20, I thunk she has a beard and moustache starting now.. OH!, you said bold! My bad...

Either way, jail or firing squad; her choice would please me.

Jon Huntsman would be a good choice.

Um, 420, Hillary has been indicating her wish to leave after Obama's first term for ATLEAST 6 months . Come back to reality and try again.

4:29 - so true, but it will never happen.

No kidding 6:23. She has always said from Day 1 that she would only serve for the first term even if there was a second-no fooling you is there? I knew that and I never said differently. What I said is now that she's been publically humiliated for being a screw-up as well as a bold faced liar she can't wait to get out of there fast enough and she's been hiding ever since she got caught.

I totally agree with the choice of Jon Huntsman. He impressed during the primary. Not to mention his experience with China.
