Clinton for majority leader in the senate

I'm joining the quite swell of voices calling for Clinton to stay in the Senate, for Reid to step aside as majority leader, and for her to assume the role. I think that she could be a great leader in that position, and not only that, on the issue of health care reform, it would put her in a more powerful role to shape the legislation than she'd have as president. And she certainly knows the issues there inside and out --- and could then be relied upon to bring Obama round to true universal coverage.
And then we could all work to make sure that Obama wins the presidency, and the democrats retain the majority in both chambers, so that things can be done in the new term.
And the current intra-party fights can end and be forgotten.

Yours, hoping,
N.
