Is the speculation finally over?

A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton tells CBS News Hillary will accept Barack Obama's offer to be his secretary of state.

Confidants of Hillary's also tell the New York Times that though her move isn't formalized yet, and won't be announced until after Thanksgiving, Hillary has decided to relinquish her Senate seat and join the president-elect's cabinet as his top spokesperson on U.S. foreign policy matters.

Barack and Hillary reportedly met in secret last week to discuss the idea of joining forces in the White House, and speculation about the progress of their reported talks has been running rampant since.
