In Game Change, Hillary Clinton, a US senator from New York, considers running for president. The former first lady determined that she would like to run for president but that the timing was not good as she wanted to keep her word to her constituents. She was impressed by Obama and did some fund raising for him, but her husband, Bill, warned her that his rising star could eclipse her own if she decided to run in 2008. Though she did lose to Obama, he was so impressed with her that he offered her the position as the Secretary of State...which she accepted.
