I think the idea of Richardson, Clinton, Jones, Gates would be to solidify the positive Democratic sentiment right now. Women, Minorities, and Republicans for two reasons, pick some of the best people for the jobs and allow the Dems to appear to be the inclusive party.
Despite claims that Dems are socialists, most are slightly to the left of center. I think a coalition with republicans on issues will keep them from having to go Left-wing, while appearing to compromise. Republicans who go with Democrats will keep their seats in 2010 and will be the only ones left to rebuild the party. |
remember though, Obama said he wants to put some repubs in his cabinat.

Yes, Obama said he would look for people from the Republican Party and who are outside of Washington politics, like Geihtner, the favorite for Treasury Secretary. Also people from the private sector.
I am curious to see how many Republicans actually end up getting appointed.

Yeah. Every president plays the "i'm going to nominate a lot of the other guys" arguement.
I think Bush even said that... and he didn't seem to nominate anyone he didn't know since at least college.
