That can't be coincidence

That can't be coincidence since I think he worked some for the Obama campaign. Since I have to imagine Obama's transition team is going to fill posts from the top down: Sec State? Just a glance over his bios he seems to have the credentials.

Talking father-to-father, Jew-to-Jew, I got the impression that he was MOST interested in staying close to home, with his family. I asked him point blank if he was going to join the Obama team and he said that he doubted it.
