I like the idea. It would be a step down for Bill but add a lot of intellectual heft and policy wonkery to the Senate.

Plus it would be awesome to see Senator Bill Clinton and Sec of State Hillary Clinton together on Meet the Press discussing foreign policy. Like James Carvalle and Mary Matlin it would be great theater, but far more informative.

Bill's office and foundation are widely reported to be in Harlem, NYC.

Fair enough, but that's entirely a consequence of Hillary "moving" to New York to run for the Senate. Neither of them actually live in the state.

(It would seem like an odd story, if it happened.)

Well, the good news would be that New Yorkers would be represented by somebody who isn't using the Senate seat as a stepping stone for higher office.
