I don't know. I have misgivings about using the nation's top diplomat publicly in what is a domestic policy matter. Still, her (and his) input should be listened to in strategy sessions.

I hold a seance with Harry S. Truman if I thought it would do it any good.

I was buoyed that the President brought up the moral imperative of enacting health care. Long overdue, imho.

Putting her in to convince Democrats to compromise...?  Would that be centrists, such as Bayh, or liberals such as such Harkin?  To get Bayh to support the public option or Harkin to abandon support for it?  I fear we know which team the coach would use her for and I, for one, prefer to see her working for the two-state solution; not the health care enrich-insurance-companies-with-47,000,0 00-new-customers solution.

Good christ, NO.

The top foreign diplomat would help with the top domestic policy issue? hmmmmm.... maybe the real message here is that Hillary should have been President.

i say all hands on deck. i saw hillary on mtp and she talked healthcare for 2 minutes. gave a mroe impassioned potent 2 min arguement for passing reform than ive heard in sucha  bite. id like ot hear mroe onw hat exactly she would do and how to do it given she is sos. id be thrilled to see her make those anti right wing arguements bc right now it all seems to be comming apart

Hillary would have been a great advocate, but I don't think the public would take kindly to a SoS running around politicking in a domestic debate when Iran, North Korea, and Afghanistan should be demanding her attention.  Certainly, the Right would be all over it.

On the other hand, Bill was amazing at Netroots and I would love to see him tour around pushing the plan.  Even a couple events side-by-side with Obama would be attention-getting and impressive.

Put me in the "Oh god, no" column.

1. Hillary has a real job to do that should be kept separate from domestic politicking.

2. Just the rumor of her involvement will immediately set off a firestorm of "Is Obama weak?" and "Clinton Restoration" stories that will utterly swamp any possible benefit that she can provide.

3. Pulling her or Bill into an official role will draw comparisons to the last failed attempt. I'm sure the Captain and First Mate on the Titanic learned a lot from their experience, too.

4. We really don't need any more weight on the right side of the teeter totter.

This would be a horrible idea.

All it would do is embolden the Right further on a number of fronts -- bringing back the "Hillarycare" thing that energizes the right almost as much as Obama in office, take her attention away from foreign policy issues (unless you think all those problems are solved now) among many, many other things.

I like Hillary, but no. Let her do her job.

Make Sebelius do hers.

if america doesnt get a decent healthcare bill through our economy wont ever be ablle to be what it ever was. millions with no care and millions going bankrupt bc of our failing system impacts the global economy. our lack of healthcare drains our nation and thus does harm the world economic balance. obama said that a million times. so perhaps it is the business of sos to make sure our eocnomy is sound and our businesses dont have to risk collapse bc of healthcare payments,no?
