President-elect Obama has a big job ahead in taking US through one of the greatest economic crisis, but foreign policy has always been a big part of US politics as well. The Secretary of State, therefore, is one of the most important posts.

Reports have just come out that Hilary Clinton, former first lady and the rival of Obama, is being seriously considered to replace current secretary of state Rice. Others rumoured to be in the running include former presidential contender John Kerry, and Republican senator Chuck Hagel, who threw his support to Obama instead of Republican candidate John McCain.

Who do you think will be named the new Secretary of State? (please note: this prediction will close if a person is named before the end date)

    Will probably be Mrs. Clinton but I hope Mr Obama is not that stupid.

    Under current economic hardship, the secretary of state will take a more diplomatic role than it did during the Bush administration. The benefit of naming Clinton to this post is that the appointment would kind of be a "two-in-one" package, where Bill Clinton would inevitably get into the mix of things, for better or for worse. During this time, I think it would be beneficial...

    Clinton sounds like a great choice. Kerry, not so much. Not at all in fact. And I doubt he'll hand this one off to a Republican, no matter how "moderate" they claim to be.
