Madame Secretary?

WASHINGTON - We may soon be calling Hillary Rodham Clinton "Madame Secretary."

President-elect Barack Obama is considering the New York senator and former first lady for secretary of state - an appointment that would go a long way toward healing the wounds left by their bruising Democratic primary.

Two Democratic officials confirmed that Clinton - long rumored to be a contender for the job - is under serious consideration.

Adding to the intrigue, Obama and Clinton met yesterday in Chicago, according to a Democratic official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.

Clinton's motorcade was seen leaving Obama's office complex shortly before he left for the day.

"Any speculation about Cabinet or other administration appointments is really for President-elect Obama's transition team to address," said Clinton adviser Philippe Reines. The Obama campaign declined to discuss any of the administration positions that haven't been announced.
