Editor’s Note: FOX Forum asked former White House Special Counsel Lanny Davis to react to reports that Sen. Hillary Clinton might be President-elect Obama’s choice for Secretary of State. Here is his response:

Based on knowing Senator Clinton for almost 40 years, I can say that she is strong and firm in her convictions and a great team player — but she is also a great listener.

Most important, she has the rare ability to walk in other people’s shoes and see the world through their eyes.  That, to me, is an important quality in a secretary of state after eight years of this administration.
