HRC For Secretary Of State

Wow. Hillary Clinton could be Secretary of State. Ben Smith notes that Clinton aides aren't knocking the rumor down.

Update (8:51PM): I'm wondering if this was a false rumor. My first reaction was, well Obama-land never leaks unless the story is true, so it must be true. Upon further reflection, the truth is that Obama-land never leaks. Period. But that was the campaign. This was the transition, and the rules of the game could be different. My guess is that if there is a leak and it's accurate, it's coming from Rahm Emanuel. If the leak is innaccurate, I'd bet the first sign would be a member of the transition team getting fired.
