It looks like momentum is building towards Susan Rice being the next Secretary of State-- and a lot of liberal people, particularly in the media, are reacting to opposition by John McCain and LIndsay Graham -- getting behind Rice because she's being attacked by right wingers.
That may not be a good idea. Rice could be simply awful, from a progressive, liberal, anti-war, anti-neocon point of view. She could be an appointment as bad as some of the investment bankers Obama has appointed.
