The UK Guardian is reporting that Hillary Clinton will accept an offer from Barack Obama to become Secretary of State.
During the primaries the two clashed over Obama's assertion that he would meet personally with America's "enemies" in his first year in office. The day after the two debated the matter Clinton called Obama's position "irresponsible and frankly naive." She supported "lower level contacts" with meeting preconditions.
No one will ever be able to prove it, but it is starting to look like Hillary's withdrawal from the primaries (and subsequent avoidance of a floor fight at the Convention) hinged on promises of a significant Clintonista presence in the Cabinet. Change WE Can Believe in became Change SHE Can Believe In, as it were.

Given her criticisms in the primary, it would be kind of funny for Obama to send Hillary Clinton to meet with the president of Iran without preconditions.
And it gives one pause to consider that the agents of Obama's proposed change are many of the people who worked or were around the Clinton White House.
