Obama Reaches Out

It seems that Senator Obama is reaching out to Hillary and her fans. The ruling of the Democratic Party's by-laws committee on Saturday rung the death knell for Senator Clinton's nomination hopes. Presumptive nominee Obama is reportedly considering her for a post in his cabinet as Health Human Services Secretary, or giving her the lead Senate role for his health care reform legislation. The camps are talking about paying off Hillary's campaign debt of $30 million, but according to one Clinton insider it is difficult to talk about an end game when the candidate still has not accepted defeat. One decision is becoming clear: Hillary will not be offered second place on the ticket. That decision was made easier after Hillary's last gaffe, referring to RFK's 1968 campaign to justify her refusal to concede. Rumor has it that Kansas governor and perceived moderate, Katherine Sebelius, is the front runner for the VP nomination.
