Will Obama’s former rival become part of his team?

There are reports in the US media this evening that Hillary Clinton might be offered a key role in Barack Obama’s government which formally takes power on January 20th 2009.

According to CNN the two former rivals met in Chicago at Obama’a request and the speculation is that she might be being offered the role of Secretary of State.

The suggestion is that such an appointment would allow him to focus on the economy while Clinton travelled the world to boost America’s image.

Whether this is going to happen we don’t know but it certainly would be an interesting appointment.
