Jacob Heilbrunn: Obama's Team of Rivals

Jacob Heilbrunn: Obama's Team of Rivals: "If Barack Obama asks Hillary Clinton to become Secretary of State, it would be a brilliantly audacious political move. Choosing Clinton would elate her fans, soothing any lingering bruised feelings, and bring some major star power to the State Department. Clinton would possess real clout and, like Obama, serve as a kind of ambassador to the world. It would also show that Obama, like Abraham Lincoln, who, as the historian Doris Kearns Goodwin showed in her book 'Team of Rivals,' is unafraid of tapping powerful cabinet members."
