New Yorkers Support Hillary for State Dept.

A Marist Poll released Wednesday indicates that 55-percent of New Yorkers want to see President-elect Barack Obama appoint Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Thirty-one-percent oppose the choice. With Clinton considered the top candidate, the names of several prominent New York lawmakers are being floated as her successor in the U.S. Senate. State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is mentioned, along with Big Apple Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Congressman Brian Higgins, and Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown.
