Aide: Obama on track to nominate Clinton
None
US President-elect Barack Obama is on track to nominate Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state as early as next week, an aide to his transition said.
One week after the former rivals for the White House met secretly to discuss the idea of Clinton becoming the nation's top diplomat, the two sides were moving quickly toward making it a reality, barring any unforeseen problems. Obama is on track to nominate her after next Thursday's US Thanksgiving holiday, the transition aide told The Associated Press on Thursday. (AP)
