AC360 Breaking CNN: Obama "on track" to nominate Hillary as SoS

[Unsane]

Will probably be announced post-Turkey Day. No link.

[Bicoastal]

1. POST-Turkey day?

Why the rush?

:sarcasm:

[tekisui]

2. Hmmm......

Is it real this time?

[Thrill]

3. That idiot also tried to break Penny Pritzer as Commerce Secretary last night

[jenmito]

4. He's "on track to nominate" her after Thanksgiving. n/t

[Neshanic]

5. Cutie-pie Anderson sez Hillary will be SOS. I no like this.

[jenmito]

7. Gloria Borger got it from two "sources." n/t

[ErinBerin84]

6. says an "aide"..."on track"...

CNN fucked up with the Penny thing last night, so I'll wait until I see it

[ClarkUSA]

8. That's not exactly what was reported.

Gloria Borger reported Jessica Yellin spoke to two unnamed "sources" who said Obama was set to choose Hillary after Thanksgiving.
No one knows who the "sources" were. :eyes:

[Unsane]

13. Yes it was. All I'm writing is that CNN is reporting it.

Regardless of who said what, all these people are working for CNN.

[ClarkUSA]

20. Um, context counts.

And you changed your OP title to make it less definite than it was when I first commented.

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. Fuckking right wing assed AP is floating this shit

Without even one word of explanation as to who their source is.
I'm not buying.

[FrenchieCat]

10. "on crack"?

:rofl:

[Jennicut]

11. OMFG, the media needs to realize not all leaks are created equal. Idiots.

That being said I hope she takes the job, I think she will be quite good at it even though I did not support her in the primaries.

[ErinBerin84]

15. "not all leaks are created equal."

hehe, love it.

[ErinBerin84]

12. haven't they been saying that

she's on track to be announced before thanksgiving? Now it's "things are progressing...right on track...after thanksgiving sometime." This passes for breaking news?

[liberalpragmatist]

14. WTF does that mean?

Seriously, this "breaking news" shit is getting ridiculous.

"Breaking News: CNN has just learned that Obama will probably -- but might not -- nominate Hillary Clinton and if he does so, he might do so in the next couple of weeks."

No shit.

[FrenchieCat]

17. They haven't had breaking news in like 1 whole day!

What do you want the "best political team on television" to do? :shrug:

[vanderBeth]

16. How is this breaking?

Because he might do something in a little over a week?

[quakerboy]

18. how is this in any way "breaking"

Unless of course Hillary or Obama have personally announced it...

[ErinBerin84]

19. MSNBC has this as a banner now

per "NBC news"....I wish we could just get this over with. It's really frustrating.

[ClarkUSA]

21. Oh, how nice. Repubican Sen. John Kyl of 'Kyl-Lieberman' thinks she'd be a great SoS.

Is there a Republican or neocon out there that doesn't like her as SoS?

[blonndee]

22. I can't think of any. All the repukes on teevee, at least, seem to love this choice.

[Thrill]

23. Madden the Repuke Strategist. Said they like her because

they would rather have her world view as opposed to Nancy Pelosi's world view at the state department. They like Hillary's world view, they just don't like her on Domestic issues.

[Thrill]

24. The same person must have talked to ABC too. They're running with this too

[stillcool]

25. Again? or is it still?

I like the little caveat added to this story

Update 11/20 at 10:24 PM EST: CNN is reporting that President-elect Obama is "on track" to name Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State soon after Thanksgiving, according to two sources close to the transition who spoke with the news network's Jessica Yellin and one source who spoke to CNN's Ed Henry.

[Metric System]

26. Damn. Just say NO, Hillary!

[Clio the Leo]

27. I do not have the strength to endure it that long....... growing so weak.... NT
