Hillary Clinton about to quit as Secretary of State to make run at Governor of NY?

hillarysmirkJust heard on the Sean Hannity radio show from Bill Krystol that Hillary Clinton may be getting ready to resign as Secretary of State, so that she could make a run for Governor of NY. Wonder if Krystol mentions anything about this on the “all star panel” during the Special Report “all start panel”.

However, in an article at the New York Post, the story is gaining more steam. According to the NYP story Hillary Clinton is “fed up” with her lack of authority as Secretary of State:

Hillary Clinton is said to be frustrated with her lack of authority as secretary of state and resentful of the glacial pace of the White House vetting process. “President Obama’s picks fly in even if they didn’t pay their taxes. But her picks take forever,” noted one Democrat. “Plus, she has no real clout over Holbrooke or Mitchell.” Richard Holbrooke is Obama’s “special representative” for Afghanistan and Pakistan. George Mitchell is “special envoy” to the Middle East. Clinton is said to be considering quitting to retake her old US Senate seat now held by Kristin Gillibrand — or running for governor, as one rumor has it. “Her argument will be that Gillibrand is in danger of losing the seat to the Republicans,” said a source. But Gillibrand won’t voluntarily step aside, unlike Rep. Nita Lowey, whom Clinton nudged out of the race in 2000. “You couldn’t blow Gillibrand out of that seat with dynamite,” said our source. Clinton’s rep did not get back to us by deadline.

    She will be demanded to run by her enormous fan base. She will run against Obama and win. She may appoint Barack to be in her cabinet. She would run the country in a dynamic, highly intelligent manner. Also, she will be guided by a master politician —- Bill Clinton. This woman is magnificent.
