According to The NY Post, Obama advisers are floating Sen. Hillary Clinton’s name as possible frontrunner for secretary of state.
Two Obama advisers confirmed Clinton is under serious consideration, according to NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell
Washington Post gossip columnist Al Kamen wrote in his blog, “The pick of the former presidential contender and Senate Armed Services Committee member would go a long way toward healing any remaining divisions within the Democratic Party after the divisive primaries.”
The New York senator was spotted on board a flight to Obama’s hometown Chicago where he is working on his transition. But Clinton aides say she was in Chicago in business.
The Obama campaign has declined to discuss any of the positions that are not yet spoken for within his administration.
Meanwhile, others scoff at the notion that Obama will appoint Clinton in a position of power who might overshadow him. “It doesn’t fit his personality type,” wrote a blogger on the left wing Huffington Post blog. “Narcissists like to be the center of attention.”
