Hillary Clinton For Sec. of State?? Any benefits regarding DREAM?

Sens. Clinton, Hagel, Kerry, and New Mexico's Gov. Bill Richardson are being considered for Sec. of State. Are there any benefits if Hagel who is a DREAM sponsor, or Clinton or Kerry who are co-sponsors end up as Sec. of State? Or is it bad for us because we will lose their respective vote in the senate?

In the event that a Senator resigns his/her position the Governor of the state appoints a new senator, so to answer the question, I guess it will be up to the new senator.

New York is a liberal state so I'm not worried about who will replace Senator Clinton because that replacement will more than likely vote for the DREAM Act. Same goes for Massachusetts
