She "credentializes him."

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.

Sullivan succinctly summarized my argument in favor of making Hillary Clinton our next Secretary of State. Credit to me: I did send that argument to Sullivan last week.

Andy claims the thought came from Jeffrey Goldberg (since he references Goldberg in his post).

Or maybe he's just using Goldberg as cover so that he can keep me anonymous.

Next time I might send my ideas to Josh instead!
