It’s finally official: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will be Barack Obama’s Secretary of State. Some observers thought Clinton was a curious pick because she made a point of differentiating her foreign policy views from Obama’s during the Democratic primary.
However, optimism is running high in the reproductive health community that Clinton will use her new office to champion women’s health issues worldwide. They expect that Clinton will push for changes in foreign aid criteria to make it easier to provide comprehensive sex ed and reproductive health services to the world’s neediest girls and women.
Yet another last-minute Bush Administration regulation — one that threatens women’s reproductive health services — is meeting with heavy resistance from Congress, and Rep. Diana DeGette is leading the charge in the U.S. House to kill it.

This election season seen numerous charges of sexism regarding Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Sarah Palin, and a recent study shows that gender does indeed play a significant role in public perception of leadership ability.
Well, not exactly. Barack Obama didn’t make it, but Saturday Night Live viewers got the next best thing: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, with the kind of biting satire — as opposed to ham-handed, if often funny, jabs — that’s been lacking from the campaign.
Seems like this year’s political messaging is all about who’s going to do what in the middle of the night. First, Hillary Clinton capitalized on our fear of things that go bump in the night with her primary commercial. “It’s 3:00 a.m and your children are safe and asleep,” a narrator says while images of sleeping babies flash across the screen. “But there’s a phone in the White House and it’s ringing.
