Goldberg explains why he likes Clinton at State. I do think that the Clinton appointment will utlimately come down to the Israel-Palestine question. And Clinton enables Obama to overcome unnecessary resistance and paranoia from the Israeli right. She credentializes him with Israelis and American Jews – which will help build support for a sustainable compromise before it is too late for the Jewish state. I remain a fan of the pick, but wonder if Clinton has the poise to accept it.
