As for the conflicts of interest over the Clinton Foundation; real or perceived, they are going to exists.  Senator Clinton knows this.  President Obama knows this and former President Clinton knows this.  Senator Clinton’s challenge will be to do everything in her power to ensure that they do not impact her decision making in the role.  Other Secretary’s of State have had similar conflicts; they were just not as public as hers.

I do support the up-or-down vote of a roll call vote.  I do believe that Senator Clinton will and should be confirmed.  However, I think that the members of the Senate need to take a stand so that their constituents can see how they intend to govern.  No Present votes allow!
