Apparently, Hillary Clinton's hesitation about becoming Secretary of State has to do with the end of her political independence that she has enjoyed since becoming Senator. Prior to that, she was politically dependent upon her husband, and now she would be again dependent, this time on the man who beat her for the Presidency.
Friends said the potential loss of her independence, hard won by her election to the Senate from New York in 2000, caused Clinton to waver last week as she considered Obama's offer. But advisers said the discussions got back on track after he promised she would have considerable input on staffing decisions and plenty of access to him.
