Rumors are flying this morning that if Hillary Clinton was to win the Presidency in 2008, former President Bill Clinton could be nominated to fill her place in the Senate in New York.
The replacement is nominated by the Governor of the State, in this case a Democrat, Eliot Spitzer.
In the case of Hillary winning, the replacement Senator would fill the position from 2008 until a special election in 2010. The position would then continue for a 2 year term until the scheduled election in 2012.
Would Bill be interested? It would be a pay cut, but what better place to help Hillary than on the floor of the Senate. And it's not like he doesn't have the experience.
So what would the title be? First Man and Senator?
No comment so far from the former President...but then again, there is still a way to go yet.
