The NY Times article above basically says what we thought about this yesterday: that it makes no sense for the Obama camp to be floating Clinton’s name without wanting her for the Secretary of State position, because if they did this and then instead gave the job to Bill Richardson, it would achieve nothing but infuriating Clinton’s half of the Democratic party. So, the NY Times believes Obama really wants her for the position — and they also believe Clinton wants the job.

Here in Chicago, things are still evenly split amongst Clinton supporters as to what people want Clinton to do — but since the “trial balloon” launched Friday on all of this has not been shot down, more and more people believe Clinton will take the Secretary of State position.

When the dust settles, we personally trust Hillary Clinton more than anyone we can think of, so if this is what she wants, we will support her and follow her in her new role with great interest. The State Department’s not where we wanted Clinton to end up, but if that’s where she wants to go, we’re behind her 100%.

ALL of this is still conjecture at this point — but the Times article seems well-sourced and makes a lot of sense. Barring Clinton herself turning this down to continue her work in the Senate, it looks like this might just be a done deal.
