Who would you like to see Obama appoint Commerce & HHS Secretaries?

[WI_DEM]

Commerce: Robert Reich

HHS: Dr. Howard Dean

If Obama insists on having a third republican in his cabinet, how about somebody who is moderate and actually endorsed him in 2008? like former congressman Jim Leach of Iowa?

1. I like your idea for a true moderate Republican

Each R we can turn against the maniacs is a good thing, imho. I wonder what Lincoln Chafee is doing.

As to HHS -- Howard Dean, Howard Dean, Howard Dean.

4. I still do not get the point of appointing a republican at all.

Elections have consequences!

5. Kitzhaber would be a great choice for HHS but, he's probably "too liberal".

[Taverner]

6. I agree 100% with both of your choices

[valerief]

7. I like Reich and Dean!

Hmm, I Like Reich has a 50s ring to it.

[Sebastian Doyle]

8. Reich & Dean would work for me

Though I still say Reich should have been at Treasury in the first place.

9. Gov. Howard Dean for HHS -- no Republicans should be appointed . . .

There is no such thing as a "moderate Republican" . . . !!!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

10. Not bad picks for either.

I don't care much about Commerce - as I said when Gregg was picked, it's not that important. Dean would be great as HHS, as would Sebelius or Granholm.

11. Michael Moore at HHS and Kucinich at Comerce
