Gail Collins of the NYT gives four reasons why Hillary should be Secretary of State:
1. She would not let the vice president run our foreign policy. Joe Biden is no Dick Cheney, but we just do not want to go there again. We have scars.
2. Obama could live out his fantasy of following the Abraham Lincoln model and filling his cabinet with a team of rivals without having to make Sarah Palin secretary of commerce.
3. Clinton already has a supply of pantsuits sufficient to get her through six months of peace negotiations in the Middle East without coming home for a change of clothes.
4. She might do a terrific job.
I would add to this tongue-in-cheek list that it would turn Obama and Clinton from rivals to allies, even more than has already happened.
