WASHINGTON (Reuters) – New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has accepted an offer from President-elect Barack Obama to become U.S. secretary of state, the New York Times said on Friday, quoting two Clinton associates.

"She's ready," one of the sources told the newspaper, which said Clinton came to her decision after additional discussions with Obama about the nature of her role as the top U.S. diplomat and his plans for foreign policy.

Democratic Party sources have said Clinton was on track to be nominated, with an official announcement expected after the November 27 Thanksgiving holiday.

Obama is not interested in revenge against anyone he seems only interested the people he thinks are the most talented and will do the best job. Look at this with Clinton and Lieberman, he is also looking at Richardson for the Commerce Secretary, not to mention Biden another former opponent as VP. I am impressed this really is a different kind of politics.

We are getting all we wished for...

This is almost a Democrat Dream-Team of sorts; this Administration is either going to change the face and pace of the nation; or cut us to the quick and finish the job Nixon started.
