Senior Obama Aides: HRC as Secretary of State; It’s a Done Deal


On the front page, big red headline at Huffington Post this morning: CLINTON "ON TRACK" TO BE NAMED SECRETARY OF STATE. And get this: so far, 15, 138 readers’ comments on Huffpo’s continuously updated status of the potential HRC appointment.

Huffpo reports:

“Update 11/20 at 11:00PM EST: Politico is reporting that it's a done deal:

“President-elect Obama plans to name Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as his secretary of State shortly after Thanksgiving, two senior Obama aides said.

“The officials said they expect her to accept. Clinton aides had no comment.

“The choice unites the two rivals in the most protracted presidential primary in American history, giving Obama the "Team of Rivals" Cabinet he had promised.

“Former President Bill Clinton authorized unprecedented disclosures about his finances to Obama's vetting team, and transition lawyers are satisfied, officials said.”

Abou those 15, 138 readers’ comments: HRC as SoS has given obsessive Obama supporters (See the Onion video) something to do post-election while hovering around the Huffington Post, Daily Kos, etc.
