At last count, about a dozen men have been mentioned as prospective candidates to serve as secretary of state. The Factor explored the possibilities with Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin. "I had a conversation this evening," she revealed, "and right now I'm told that the stock of Rex Tillerson, the Exxon Mobil chairman, is really rising. He has the benefit of having run a company that is in 50 countries and has a long relationship with Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump was very impressed with him and I'm told they will have another meeting in the next couple of days. Mitt Romney is still in the mix, but Rudy Giuliani has not been seen coming in and out of Trump Tower in two weeks. Giuliani was offered Department of Homeland Security and he turned it down. He was publicly saying that he wanted to be secretary of state and Donald Trump was put off by that. I'm also told that Donald Trump has been really impressed by General David Petraeus."
