Clinton 'on track' to be Secretary of State

A spokesman for Hillary Rodham Clinton says the New York senator is still in discussion over whether to accept the US Secretary of State job, though the talks are “very much on track”.

Spokesman Philippe Reines and other Clinton officials flatly denied reports tonight that she had accepted the job offer. But officials in both camps said they have every reason to believe that President-elect Barack Obama will announce her as his choice shortly after Thanksgiving.
