WASHINGTON - We may soon be calling Hillary Rodham Clinton "Madame Secretary."

President-elect Barack Obama is considering the New York senator and former first lady for secretary of state - an appointment that would go a long way toward healing the wounds left by their bruising Democratic primary.

Two Democratic officials confirmed that Clinton - long rumored to be a contender for the job - is under serious consideration.

Adding to the intrigue, Obama and Clinton met yesterday in Chicago, according to a Democratic official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.

Clinton's motorcade was seen leaving Obama's office complex shortly before he left for the day.

"Any speculation about Cabinet or other administration appointments is really for President-elect Obama's transition team to address," said Clinton adviser Philippe Reines. The Obama campaign declined to discuss any of the administration positions that haven't been announced.

I would rather see her challenge Harry Reid for the job of Senate Majority Leader. She'd have more power than as SOS.

I think she'd be good as Secretary of State, better than Richardson. Her role in the Senate has her more up on current affairs, and she and Condoleeza Rice will have an easy transition. She knows how the White House works and even her enemies concede that she is smart.

I won't be shocked if she doesn't actually get that job - I honestly don't believe that they want her. This is just a very sly way to get her to reveal all of her dirty seekrits so that if she should get out of line - they can take her down.

Are you sure? I'm hearing that she might actually reject Obama's offer.

If she is part of this administration then can it be more clear that there is no tangible "change" coming?
This article was from the guardian...it is not confirmed as of yet I don't believe. You may still be right.
