The Key to Hillary's Success
Robert Shrum notes that if Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton "still aspires to the top job, she can't afford to treat this period as an eight-year transition to her Presidency."
"She will also have to foreswear a shadow political operation, including poll briefings from her strategist Mark Penn, the salient points of which would no doubt find their way into the press. (Come to think of it, she would have been better off without those poll briefings during her campaign, as well.) And President Bill Clinton will have to discipline himself to play a supporting role -- for Obama as well as for his wife. Any hint of a policy split with the former president would be instantly attributed to Hillary."
