15. today's Times Online suggests strong picks...
and unfortunately, Treasury candidates are all from the the people that got us into this mess.

"The leading contenders to head the US Treasury in an Obama Administration are Tim Geithner, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Laurence Summers, President Clinton’s last Treasury Secretary, and Paul Volcker, who chaired the Federal Reserve from 1980 to 1987. Mr Volcker, in particular, has become an enormously influential economic adviser to Mr Obama in recent months."
and
( brace yourselves for this )

"Senator Joe Lieberman, an “independent” Democrat who campaigned tirelessly for Mr McCain, would almost certainly get a top post, possibly Secretary of State."

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

18. The remark about Lieberman is if it were a McCain administration.
At least, that's the way I read it:

Both Mr McCain and Mr Obama are likely to keep President Bush’s Defence Secretary, Robert Gates, in his post. Mr McCain is also looking at two former primary rivals: Rudy Giuliani, the former New York Mayor, and Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts Governor, for top positions.

Senator Joe Lieberman, an “independent” Democrat who campaigned tirelessly for Mr McCain, would almost certainly get a top post, possibly Secretary of State.
