Henry Clay for one- he became Secretary of State in 1824 and the so-called corrupt bargain. Hillary Clinton, the current Secretary of State, made a bid for the presidential nomination and Lincoln's Secretary of State, William Seward, was the front-runner for the nomination at the Republican Convention of 1860 which eventually nominated Lincoln. There may have been others.

I'm going to assume that you are referring to the 2008 United States Presidential election (as this occurance has happened several times before in U.S. History). For this election, unsuccessful Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton became Barack Obama's Secretary of State.
