Obama Cabinet continues to take shape


(NECN: RD Sahl) - Democratic officials say former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle has accepted an offer to be secretary of Health and Human Services. And, Washington attorney Eric Holder has reportedly agreed to be attorney general, which would make him the nation's first African-American attorney general. Both still need background checks.

Meanwhile, associated of Hillary Clinton and her husband say the former first lady is weighing whether to leave the Senate and become secretary of state, believing the job is hers if she wants it. Obama transition officials say the New York senator is the leading contender.

NECN's RD Sahl takes a closer look at the upcoming Obama administration.
