Report: Talk of Hillary as secretary of state is premature
As I’ve already reported, there have been a number of media reports indicating that Hillary Clinton’s becoming secretary of state was likely or even a done deal. But The Politico says such talk is premature: Clinton isn’t certain she would accept the job even if Barack Obama offered it.

Which women should rule the world (or at least the White House)?
Buzzflash’s Meg White has a beef with the (possibly premature) talk of a Barack Obama cabinet: Too many men’s names are being bandied about. (Sorry, Gov. Bill Richardson.)
So, they’re asking readers to submit their suggestions for the women who could rule the roosts.
