Let's just hope that whomever Mr. Obama appoints as Secretary of State is whomever he thinks is the best person for the job, and not someone who needs to be stifled, muffled, or otherwise shut up.
The job is way too important for that and we all remember what happened with Colin Powell who accepted the position and then tragically betrayed his country in a mistaken show of loyalty to the Executive branch.
I don't really trust Hillary simply because her judgement over Iraq was so poor. If she had led the opposition to the invasion of Iraq, she would almost certainly be the President-in-waiting now. But if Mr. Obama thinks that she is the best person for the job, then so be it.
