Barack Obama's Cabinet: Part 2

Barack Obama has just announced that he will be nominating Bill Richardson as Secretary of Commerce for his cabinet. It seems Obama's new strategy is to employ his former opponents from the Democratic primaries into positions of power. 4 out of the 8 candidates are now going to be in the cabinet this Spring. What's next? My guess, John Edwards as Secretary of Energy, Dennis Kucinich as Secretary of Transportation, Chris Dodd as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and my personal favorite, Mike Gravel as Secretary of Agriculture. Then again, Mike Gravel after the primary jumped ship, endorsed a Green party candidate, and then joined the Libertarian party. Talk about reaching across the aisle...
