    I've been reading hornfans West Mall board, so I have some inside knowledge as I know a lot about Obama from reading this board.

    Look for William Ayers, Reverend Wright, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and some random scary Black Panther dude to all be in the cabinet.

    I thought it was a given that the Black Panthers would replace the Secret Service.

    I hope Colin Powell is in there somewhere. I respect the hell out of that man and he got a royal screwing from Bush, imo.

    Barbara Streisand, the Dixie Chicks, Oprah Winfrey...

    Actually, Oprah might not be a bad idea for something.

    Will include several Republicans including a high profile position (State or Defense).

    May be just a rumor, but I heard Ahnold will be considered.
    Tom Deshale (sp?) or that Emanuel guy said to be the two contenders for White House Chief of Staff.

    There has been some discussion of Hagel for Defense, or keeping Gates.

    MSNBC tossed out Kerry for State, which I just don't see happening.

    Syracuse-good call on the AG, get her out Arizona, she has turned that state upside down politically. Not that she did a bad job but ole Barry Goldwater picked his coffin up and moved to California.

    Powell had his chance and proved that he's not a man of principle. He can fade off into Bolivian.

    if politics was more like pro wrestling, Obama would have taken the stage last night in Grant Park with Ayers and Wright on each arm. it would have been like the NWO. Obama would have grabbed the mic and said "We fooled you, *******" with this real evil laugh. the crowd would have been stunned.

    it would have been an allsome swerve.

    Don't be surprised if he keeps Gates on as Defense Secretary. That gives him his token Republican and few D's want it.

    I think Summers or Volcker would be great at Treasury.

    Hillary will not give up the Senate for a lowly cabinet spot. If anyone it will be unemployed Bill.

    John Kerry is more likely than Hillary. Sam Nunn may be to old.
