Hillary Clinton and the US/Russia Relationship

Now that we have Hillary Clinton coming on as the Secretary of State, I’ve got to wonder if the move will improve or further erode our relationship with the Russians.
If you recall (you probably don’t - it was barely reported), back in January 2008, Hillary “joked” that Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin “doesn’t have a soul.”
Her humor might play well in Manhattan and San Francisco, but I doubt she’ll be invited to tell those sorts of jokes in Moscow any time soon.
No Super Majority for Democrats
The goal by Democrats to achieve a filibuster-proof super majority in the Senate (60 seats) has fallen short with the victory by Georgia Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss yesterday.
Sarah Palin did a good bit of stumping for Senator Chambliss, where she drew large, enthusiastic crowds. So, much to the chagrin of Democrats, the Palin star continues to shine.
The Minnesota Senate race of Norm Coleman or Al Franken is now the only one to remain unresolved.
