Those Who Will or May Be In Obama's Administration:


NOT everyone believes in Barack Obama's promise to change Washington. But at least the faces will change. Should he win the White House, Mr Obama will bring in a new team to run the federal government, the Oval Office and the Democratic Party. Sitting Republicans, of course, will be out. But so too will be many members of the old Democratic establishment, long exiled to the Brookings Institution and similar perches to await the return of their powers under Hillary Clinton. So who will run the country if the voters decide that Yes, He Can?

1. Will he pick a token Republican for his cabinet?
Many are pushing him to put a Republican in his cabinet as a symbol of breaching the partisan divide. I can't think of a single one I'd want. Maybe what's his name, the guy who lost in RI?

2. What about Senator Hagel from NE who has gone after the Bush Admin
Edited on Mon Jun-16-08 07:48 PM by EV_Ares
on the war and really pissed them off? In July 2007, Hagel was one of three Republican Senators who supported the legislation proposed by Democrats to require a troop withdrawal to begin within 120 days.
