President-elect Obama appears strikingly open to a team of rivals around him — maybe. Hillary Clinton is clearly a powerhouse. But is the senator the right rival, the right powerhouse for this job?

The global stakes are high. Opinions are all over the map.

This hour, On Point: Obama, Clinton, and the next U.S. Secretary of State.Guests:
