Madame Secretary

Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration, the Guardian has learned. - The Guardian, November 17, 2008
This really does seem like a brilliant move, if the Guardian story is true. It beautifully neutralizes Hillary as a divisive figure. She knows Biden isn't likely to be running in eight years, and that she can have an inside track on the heir apparent role if she plays the good soldier. (And, of course, she'd be fourth in the line of succession . . . not that she would ever think of such a thing.) Meanwhile, Obama gets a surrogate of unprecedented recognition and more stature going into the job than anyone at least since George Marshall.
