Watching Clinton's Transition at State

Now that Hillary Clinton has been nominated to be Secretary of State, President-elect Barack Obama's former Democratic rival will begin preparing for the job that awaits her in less than two months. During the transition, there are a few things that may give a sense of what to expect when she actually does take office after her likely confirmation by the Senate early next year: how well she coordinates with Defense Secretary Bob Gates and incoming National Security Adviser Jim Jones; which aides she chooses to help in the transition; what her role in current crises in South Asia and the Middle East may be; and which of her campaign agenda items she indicates she will push within the administration.
