<![CDATA[Hillary Clinton as secretary of state? W/ addition]]>That’s the Thurs night buzz.  What do you think about the merits of such a choice?  Of course, even if it does happen, it will be some mixture of agreements and compromises, but generally is it good or bad?

Such an appointment would mitigate two worries of mine:

1.  His administration needs to do more than take women’s concerns seriously.  It needs to see women as very important moral agents who do the deciding on a wide range of issues.  Hillary doesn’t just represent a lot of women’s interest; she embodies an extremely important perspective.  Or at least she can.

2.  I’d be reassured to find he can work with a powerful woman like her.  No doubt for wise political reasons, Michelle Obama is being hyper non-threatening right now.  Hillary is sort of at the  opposite end. 

Of course,  there’s much more to be said about her qualifications.  And Bill.  (I  guess we all have to live with the fact that he’ll always be a part of her narrative.)  But, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
