Well by now, many of you have heard that Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel has been named President-elect Obama’s chief of staff. An interesting choice, considering Obama’s campaign mantra of bringing change in the spirit of bipartisanship to Washington, D.C.
Apparently, Obama’s transition team is moving on the fast track in its quest to name cabinet posts in an expedient fashion. Yesterday, the blogosphere lit up as pundits speculated Hillary Clinton would be named Secretary of State, after her secret service entourage was spotted in Chicago. Today, the Associated Press tamped down that prospect, putting forth that frequently-mentioned cabinet possibility Bill Richardson was also at Obama’s transition office for a “closed-door meeting.” Thoughts?
