Hillary's Reward?

Could this be the reward from Obama for finally getting out of the race and not taking the fight to the convention?

Andrea Mitchell reported this evening that Obama is considering Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, something that's been buzzed about as a possibility for a few days.

I haven't been able to confirm it, and neither Obama nor Clinton camps would comment, though NBC apparently has confirmation that she went to Chicago today.

One interesting item: Clinton aides are not knocking the report down, which they might.

"Any speculation about cabinet or other administration appointments is really for President-Elect Obama's transition team to address," emails spokesman Philippe Reines.

Oh well, it could be worse. He might have chosen John Kerry.
