Hillary Clinton will be named Secretary of State

President-Elect Barack Obama will name Hillary Clinton Secretary of State. Yep the choice has been made and Hillary Clinton will finally get a position in the White House.
Via Yahoo:
WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama plans to nominate Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state after Thanksgiving, a new milestone for the former first lady and a convergence of two political forces who fought hard for the presidency.
One week after the former primary rivals met secretly to discuss the idea of Clinton becoming the nation’s top diplomat, an Obama adviser said Thursday that the two sides were moving quickly toward making it a reality, barring any unforeseen problems.
The senior adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity because the president-elect is not prepared to officially announce the nomination, said Obama believes Clinton would bring instant stature and credibility to U.S. diplomatic relations.
Obama is convinced the advantages of Clinton serving far outweighed potential downsides, the adviser said.
Clinton would have to surrender her New York Senate seat, which she has held for eight years, to take the job.
The nomination would be a remarkable union between the former first lady who was an early favorite to win the presidency and the first-term senator who upset her in the primary and cruised to a general election victory. Such a high-profile seat in the Cabinet for Clinton also would be another achievement for the most accomplished former first lady in U.S. history, who has been the first presidential spouse to serve in the Senate and run for the White House herself.
Mediaoutrage- We knew she would get the job. Congrats to her and we hope the Obama cabinet can make great changes during their years in office.

@ Yea I Said It: Im a bit pissed about this myself, but I will not jump ship yet. Obama is a leader and people will follow him. I think he is strong enough to keep his foot on their necks but it aint gonna be easy at all.
