Hillary News Swings Day to Day
My take this morning is that she’s enjoying being courted more than she would enjoy the job itself. It seems likely that she will turn it down. Senator Kennedy offered her a chance to take a leadership role on healthcare, and that will be tempting.
Buzz continued Tuesday about the possibility that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be Barack Obama’s secretary of state — though Clinton insiders also told Politico that the New York senator might reject the job.
There are also concerns about the idea in some precincts of Obamaland. From his supporters in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party to campaign aides of the soon-to-be president, there’s a sense of ambivalence about giving a political plum to a woman they spent 18 months hammering as the compromised standard-bearer of an era that deserves to be forgotten.
