Clinton For State? Sulivan Breaks it Down
The Hillary Clintion as Secretary of State buzz is really flying. Not surprisingly, Andrew Sullivan has a great post on why it’s an inspired pick:
Left to fester in the Senate, Clinton will plot against the president if he doesn’t actively seek her support and engagement and “spread the political wealth” of his mandate. It is a senior enough position not to be fobbed off; it really does take advantage of the Clinton name abroad; it could even put Bill to good use and keep him out of mischief; and Obama has kept telling us that his cabinet model is “Team Of Rivals.” Giving Hillary that kind of position is straight out of Lincoln.
