Secretary of State Clinton?

Hillary Clinton might just make it to the West Wing of the White House; with reports affirming Clinton on a 'short list' for Secretary of State according to the LA Times.

Hillary Rodham Clinton emerged Friday as a top contender to be secretary of State after flying to Chicago the day before and meeting privately with President-elect Barack Obama, former advisors to the senator from New York said.

Obama is weighing other prominent elected officials for the post of the nation's top diplomat, but has zeroed in on the former first lady and runner-up for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to one of her campaign aides.

Bill Richardson and John Kerry are also in the running. In terms of foreign policy credentials, does anybody remember the slight oversight from the primaries? When she 'misspoke' about landing in Bosnia under sniper fire and having to rush across the tarmac? Here's a reminder of what really happened.
