President-elect Obama is weighing an array of Washington insiders and outsiders, including some Republicans, for top administration posts, according to Democratic officials.

Proposed list on the article.

What do you think of these possible appointments?

We'll undoubtedly find out who, if any from this list, soon.

He is a Moderate, has Agriculture experience, is an environmentalist.  Has past state level cabinet experience.  He is also a minority.  Would not be my pick... but he is center and would give Obama another perspective.. Not a bad pick for Obama.

What about the others proposed on the article for the other positions? (I didn't want to copy the whole list since it was an AP thingee, even if it was from the Denver post.)

I think it's a good idea - seems like a pretty good pick.

What about these men for Secretary of Defense:

  • Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

  • Former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig.

  • Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., critic of Iraq war, retiring from Senate.

  • Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., member of Senate Armed Services Committee.
