"The sometimes awkward dance between Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton in the eight days since he invited her to Chicago for a meeting culminated in a telephone call on Thursday. Before the call, Mrs. Clinton was skeptical about the prospect of joining the cabinet, said her confidants, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the situation. But Mr. Obama addressed her concerns about access, personnel and other issues, leading her to conclude she should take the job, they said.

“She’s ready,” one of Mrs. Clinton’s confidants said. The first meeting in Chicago “was so general” that she needed to have a better sense of how she would fit into Mr. Obama’s administration, and the call helped her “just getting comfortable” with the idea of working together, the confidant said.

Mr. Obama’s advisers said that although no offer had been formally accepted, her nomination was “on track” and would probably be announced after the holiday. Mrs. Clinton’s Senate office broke a week of silence to acknowledge the talks but cautioned that they had not been made final."

I don't agree with this nomination. Ms. Clinton is certainly smart enough (unlike that other party's woman candidate) and has enough foreign policy experience to hit the ground at a stately (pun intended) jog. 

But.

Hillary polarizes to a negative degree that Obama (at this point) doesn't and brings the baggage of her past and husband to the job. And if you thik Bill will keep to the background and be a quiet, supportive guy, then you must have entirely missed the bitter Democratic nominee campaign.
