ReplyDeletePurely for the sake of speculation: had Hillary been the nominee and won, for what cabinet position would she have most likely picked Obama? (If not for VP.) I think he probably would have been her pick for Secretary of State also; if anything, this probably means that these jobs are an extremely natural fit for both of them.
ReplyDeleteI think he definitely would have been her veep, but SOS wouldn't have been a bad idea either.
