Barack Obama Hillary Clinton Secretary Of State
According to a new report, Barack Obama had a “serious discussion” with Hillary Clinton on Thursday during which the President-elect offered the New York State Senator a position as Secretary of State in his cabinet, if she’s interested.
Senator Clinton’s answer is unknown, but multiple Democratic sources tell CNN they are confident the job is hers.

I think that Clinton is a shoe-in for the job. But maybe she would be better suited (and be more fulfilled by) tackling domestic issues (health care?) that she has already done so much work on?
Dr. Tantillo, who has a marketing and branding blog ( http://blog.marketingdoctor.tv ), argued against the notion of a joint Obama-Clinton ticket back in May:
“Because of the length of this primary fight, brand identity and loyalty to brand have become central. What this means is that a kind of brand mutual exclusivity has set in. The Obama brand stands for something that the Hillary brand does not. And vice versa!”

But at this stage–especially with all that Clinton did in the general election phase to help get Obama elected– I think that the Clinton brand has shifted enough that it would make smart branding sense (for Obama and Clinton but especially for the Democratic Party) for Obama to give give Clinton and Clintonites a role in the new administration.
