President Elect Barack Obama has narrowed down his list for possibilities for Secretary of State and Clinton is being seriously considered (politico.com). Two Obama advisers have told NBC News that Clinton is being considered (huffington.com). Even though Clinton and Obama had been rivals, during the general election Clinton campaigned diligently for Obama. Clinton was seen taking a flight to Chicago today but did not comment on weather or not she had a meeting with Obama while she was there (huffington.com).
According to CNN: (huffington.com)
One source close to Hillary Clinton tells CNN that as of early yesterday, Senator Clinton had not been contacted by the transition team about a possible cabinet appointment. This same source tells CNN that Senator Clinton would not necessarily dismiss such an offer.
A spokesman for Hillary Clinton, Philippe Reines, tells CNN "Any speculation about cabinet or other administration appointments is really for President-Elect Obama's transition team to address."
On Monday night, while walking into an awards ceremony in New York, Senator Clinton was asked if she would consider taking a post in the Obama administration. She replied, "I am happy being a Senator from New York, I love this state and this city. I am looking at the long list of things I have to catch up on and do. But I want to be a good partner and I want to do everything I can to make sure his agenda is going to be successful."
