November 21st, 2008. Filed under: Finance & Fitness Fridays.Just read a breaking news alert from the New York Times which was posted less than 20 minutes ago. Hilary Rodham Clinton is giving up her senate seat to accept the job of Secretary of State. We will now have both Obama and Clinton on the same ticket. It’s just not the ticket that Hilary supporters had in mind.
Senior Obama advisers said this morning that the offer had not been formally accepted and no announcement will be made until after Thanksgiving. It certainly won’t look very good if Hilary decides not to take the position, but since it’s being broadcast to the world, it must be a pretty sure thing.
Is Hilary giving up more than she’s receiving? Probably not, but it’s all in the way you look at it. A try at the top position in 2016 is still a possibility.
