The ex-Secretary of State and onetime Denver resident has a favorite among the candidates, having endorsed Hillary Clinton last November. But she steers clear of name-checking Mrs. C. in Memo, which finds her offering general guidelines about how to deal with rising powers in Asia, the sputtering Mideast peace process, the Iraq quagmire and more. She delivers her advice and council in the cool, measured tone of a veteran diplomat, but she's clearly confident about her message. If the next president follows her recommendations about how to deal with al-Qaeda, for instance, she believes that he or she will soon be "headed for reelection by a landslide."
Sounds like a pitch for a new cabinet position.
