In the office block in downtown Washington where Barack Obama's White House transition team are at work, there is no time for breaks.
Lunch is taken at desks. Staff need a good reason to go out at all.
But a little after lunch on Wednesday two Obama aides went to a local coffee shop to talk. Both were veterans of the campaign, hailed as the best organised and most disciplined in US history, which has made their boss the first black president.
Both had come to believe, in the crucible of the campaign, that Mr Obama's judgment was superior to their own. But when they met on Wednesday they agreed on one thing: "He's making a mistake." As one of the participants told a friend later that night: "She'll do a good job but she'll do it for herself, not for Barack. I can't bear the drama again."

I’m not so certain of that. Remember her speech in San Francisco around 2002 when she announced the democrats were going to take from the rich and give to the poor == spread the wealth. O said the same words to Joe the Plumber... and don’t forget, her college thesis was on Alinski; she and O are disciples of the same master.
Thanks for your comment and insight. Wonder if Caroline will take her Uncle Bobby’s post. I’m sure it’s hers for the taking.
I think there must have been some sort of a deal worked out with the Democrats that they would give him the nomination and he could be the figure-head president, but that the Clintons would be the actual presidents. If that isn’t the actual scenario, it certainly is playing out that way.
