Andrea Mitchell says that Clinton will be SoS. According to her, Clinton and Obama had decided a while ago and that they kept it from their staff.

Jonathan Capehart says that the delay in the announcement has helped flesh out the sources of the leaks.

Later Updated: in response to JNagarya commentary:

I think the pundits are really perplexed as to how Obama could bury the hatchet with Lieberman and Clinton. As you remember, during the election Clinton said that while she and McCain had foreign policy cred, all Obama had was a speech. She also when asked by a reporter if Obama was a Christian, responded that as far as she knew he was, the implication being that maybe he isn't.

After Andrea Mitchell confirmed that Clinton would be nominated after Thanksgiving, the Morning Joe crew struggle to explain how Obama forgave Lieberman and Clinton their election "trespasses" and why he would name Clinton as SoS.

Chris Matthews said (paraphrased) "this guy is really a christian. This is loving your enemies, real Christian values that (addressing Buchanan) are hard to find in the world." Buchanan laughed that one off. Joe Scarborough (paraphrase) "this is New testament in action. He believes in unity and forgiveness."

Additionally, the nonsense question that has been repeated ad infinitum in the media echo chamber as to why so many former Clinton era appointees are being nominated and whether this is really change or a return to Clinton politics was finally addressed. Scarborough and others finally acknowledged that it is common to have appointees from previous administrations reappointed and that having Obama as president makes this administration different. Scarborough commented that although Reagan brought in Nixon's people into his administration, in a top down fashion, Reagan set the policies they were to execute, in effect putting his brand on his presidency.
