    I expect, Ayers, Wright, and Flava Flav, for starters. Then it will get weird.

    Chuck Hagel will be the designated Republican on the ol' team of rivals I think.

    Chuck Hagel and one of Kerry/Richardson are locks. No Hillary or Powell.

    How about Gen. Clark?

    Where will Warren Buffett and Paul Volcker end up?

    On CNBC they were speculating that either Larry Summers or Bob Rubin would be Treasury Secretary

    Rahm Emanuel Next Chief-of-Staff: Report

    President-elect Barack Obama has already began shaping his White House cabinet, just hours after being elected the 44th president of the U.S.

    According to ABC news source, Obama has offered the job of chief of staff to Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill.

    Emmanuel, who served in Bill Clinton's administration, has not yet replied to the offer.

    He was chairman of the Democratic campaign committee two years ago, when the party won a majority for the first time in more than decade. Emmanuel also served as senior adviser and fundraiser for Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley before joining the Clinton White House.

    Obama made history last night by becoming the first African-American to win the White House with a landslide victory over Republican John McCain. The Illinois senator gained 338 electoral votes to McCain's 162, although three states -- Missouri, Indiana and North Carolina -- are too close to project.

    Obama made his acceptance speech in Grant Park, Chicago where tens of thousands of supporters gathered there to greet him as the next president.

    I think Bill Richardson would make a fantastic Sec. of State. As Nice Rollin said, he was the most qualified for President.

    Since his campaign was all about race, I want this:

    Walt Williams for Secretary of Education
    Michael Williams for Secretary of the Interior
    J.C. Watts for Secretary of Commerce
    Alan Keyes for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
    Oprah Winfrey for Secretary of Health and Human Services

    (I'm kinda serious about the first three.)

    Shouldn't Walt "The Wizard" Williams be Minister of Magic?

    Don't worry he wouldn't accept any position, never would be considered for anything and I was kidding.

    Great...What kind of CHANGE is this? He picks Bill Clinton's leftovers who is the toughest and most partisan person in congress. There is a reason why his nickname is RAHM-BO. I don't see this as a Bi-Partisan pick.
