Who Will Be The Next U.S. Secretary of State?

As we hurtle closer to November 4, 2008, I am ready to start speculating about who will succeed Condoleezza Rice at the State Department. I've created a list of potential nominees for each of the remaining presidential candidates. And yes, there is some overlap in the lists. A President Barack Obama might need to reach out to a Clinton adviser. And there are a handful of foreign policy gurus which could cross party lines and serve either a Democrat or a President John McCain.

So what do you think? Review the names and make your prediction here.

I was somehow interested in reading the name Condoleezza Rice. I don’t know why, this time.

Whatever happened to her? What is her legacy, “politics” aside?
