On Friday night, the rumor started going around that P-E Obama had offered the job to Hillary Clinton. Once on dry land, we see there has apparently been no offer. That makes sense to me. Like in the primaries, Team Obama wants Hillary supporters to think they are considering her when they really never would, would be my guess. (Clinton could really take the State Department and run with it as a rival to Obama in his own administration.)

Interestingly, the rumor seemed to be greeted with some relief on the USS NR.
