NYT: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton

Peter Baker of The New York Times — once my next-door neighbor in Adams-Morgan! — quotes “two confidants” of Hillary Rodham Clinton saying she’s going to accept Barack Obama’s offer to become secretary of state.

“She’s ready,” the confidant said, addding that Mrs. Clinton was reassured after talking again with Mr. Obama because their first meeting in Chicago last week “was so general.” The purpose of the follow-up talk, he noted, was not to extract particular concessions but “just getting comfortable” with the idea of working together.

Now let’s see who she appoints as her team.
