Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

I can't imagine Hillary agreeing to work under Obama and particularly in a position that will probably be heavily influenced on a daily basis by Biden (considering his foreign relations committee experience). But if Clinton says no, then she could be seen as not a team player. This reminds me of when JFK approached LBJ to be his VP candidate.

I think Lugar would be a good choice for State.

It is interesting that Obama's transition team has a heavy dose of the Clinton White House and that as the campaign developed Obama moved a bit toward the center (the Clinton zone) with some of his stances on issues. Interesting, but not too suprising. I think the Democratic party (and perhaps many others) look back on the Clinton years as halcyon (sp?) days and they want to relive those. They basically wanted Clinton back in office, they just didn't want Hillary. So now Obama is basically the next Clinton, the next Bill Clinton. Which, while hardly a move toward "change", I think is probably the right move.

I think your totally wrong and the Clinton's will not be of much any help. I think the only way Hillary would take the job is if she thinks it will help her politically. He could barely get Bill to campain for him when Hillary was out of the race. I also think Bill does not want Obama's legacy to out do his and we know Clinton has a big ego.
