I know I'm obsessing, but with this looking more and more likely, it's worth taking a step back to consider just how huge this is. Secretary of State is arguably the most prominent and prestigious Cabinet position. Potentially, it's a more powerful job than the vice presidency, and indeed, it's the role Joe Biden was supposedly lusting after. Those who argued Hillary should have been Obama's running mate -- and were so disappointed that she wasn't seriously vetted -- probably had little inkling that the Obama team had something like this in mind for her.
