The drama whirling around whether Hillary Clinton will be Barack Obama’s first Secretary of State, including her Hamlet-like deliberations, has centered around how willing she may be to give up the independent power base she enjoys in the Senate. This is another way of saying she’s still playing with the idea of running against him in 2012, which would be her last shot.
The other focus has been on her lovemuffin, better half, main squeeze: Bill. He’s up to his eyeballs in possible conflicts of interest, between his close friendships with over 50 current and past heads of state and the hundreds of millions that have poured into his Foundation from sources both legit and shady.
Obama and Hillary may see their way past all of this and she may, in fact, take the big chair in Foggy Bottom.
