The Hillary factor . . .

(SNIP)

The job market . . .

Retiring Senate President Emil Jones [2008-09-01 BLS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_Jones ], who is this/close to Barack Obama, tells Sneed he is not looking for some big job in the Obama administration should Barack win the presidency. "I don't want to work that hard," he joked.

So how about an ambassadorship? "I'd consider it," he joked. Bermuda? "Amen to that," quipped Jones' wife.

He told Sneed: Obama "will be the first person in the White House I knew personally."
