Obama's Secratary of State?

The CNN political ticker is showing Hillary Clinton as a possible Secretary of State candidate. This is exciting news. I think this is a win-win situation. It appeals to Appalachian voters' love affair with the Clintons and the world's love affair with Bill. But what about poor Bill Richardson? He has more merit than any other recognizable democrat but will forever be in the background. After seeing Richardson sweat his way through the primary debates, I have to put my faith in Clinton. Either way it is a win-win situation. Make that a win-win-win situation--Richard Lugar is just as qualified as the other candidates and would appeal to conservatives and might help deliver Indiana in the 2012. I don't see what Obama stands to gain from appointing Kerry.
