Hillary for Secretary of State?
There’s increasing chatter in political circles that the Obama camp is not overly happy with the usual suspects for secretary of state these days and that the field might be expanding somewhat beyond Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Gov. Bill Richardson (D-N.M.), Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) and maybe former Democratic senator Sam Nunn of Georgia.
There’s talk, indeed, that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) may now be under consideration for the post. Her office referred any questions to the Obama transition; Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor declined to comment.
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.
How far down the line of succession does this put her? 4th in line? Thats probably a safe distance, but I’d still watch my back if I were Obama.
Allahpundit doesn’t think there is much to this rumor and says, “naming Hillary achieves nothing.”
Senator Giuliani?
Team Obama does what benefits it politically and the Hillary nomination would do almost nothing for it. In fact, Hillary would probably become her own star in the administration and take some attention away from Obama. Can’t have that.

He’s just trying to float the idea so when he chooses someone else he’ll look better:

Hillary deserves anything she wants from Obama. She is the rock of the Democratic party
