ICYMI: She's Grrrrrreat!

Former President Clinton in Kuwait yesterday commented on buzz that Hillary Clinton has been offered the nation's top diplomatic job, Secretary of State.

The list is long to fill HRC's Senate seat should she move to State.

Some possible contenders:

Rep. Nydia Velazquez

NY AG Andrew Cuomo

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the environmentalist and activist

In weighing who might takeover Clinton's job, Gov. David Paterson is said to be considering whom he could tap who would in turn help firm up his base for his 2010 gube bid. Paterson, of course, was sworn in when Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned.
