Gee--what a surprise

Word is that Hillary Clinton plans to build a bigger, more powerful State Department:

"Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to build a more muscular US State Department, with a bigger budget, high-profile special envoys dispatched to trouble spots and an expanded role in dealing with the global economic crisis, the New York Times reported Tuesday."

And one that will give HER plenty of visibility and power.
More than likely, this is one of the concessions she demanded from Obama in order to secure her agreement to take the job.
