According to Wahington Post:
There’s increasing chatter in political circles that the Obama camp is not overly happy with the usual suspects for secretary of state these days and that the field might be expanding somewhat beyond Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Gov. Bill Richardson (D-N.M.), Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) and maybe former Democratic senator Sam Nunn of Georgia.
There’s talk, indeed, that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) may now be under consideration for the post. Her office referred any questions to the Obama transition; Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor declined to comment.
In fact, a top Democratic official has confirmed that the former First Lady Hilary Clinton met with President-elected Barack Obama last Thursday for possible role in the new administration.
During a transit industry conference, Clinton declares:
“I have to start by saying I’m very happy there is so much press attention and interest in transit, especially guesses about my own. But on the off chance that you’re not here for this important issue, and are here for some other reason, let me just say that I’m not going to speculate or address anything about the president-elect’s incoming administration, and I’m going to respect his process, and any inquiries should be directed to his transition team.”
