Place your bets, Ladies and Gentlemen! Spin the wheel and win!

President-Elect Obama (how I love typing that) is starting to choose his administration members. Already Rahm Emanuel has been asked to be Chief of Staff, but we have many more positions to fill. So, who do you predict for the Secretary of . . .
State
Treasury
Defense
Interior
Agriculture
Commerce
Labor
HHS
HUD
Transportation
Energy
Vetrans Affairs
Homeland Security
as well as...
Att. General
EPA
Management & Budget
Drug Czar
Trade Representative
and any offices you think might need to become cabinet level positions?

(ok, maybe not all of them, but who do you think should be in there?)

If Spitzer and Edwards weren't ostracized, I'd say they'd be in there somewhere.

State: Hillary Clinton. She would not have been a great president, she would be perfect for Secretary of State though.

Too much of an ""Old Face" to make any new changes. And having a former president serving under a new one would be kind of weird....

McCain should now start enjoying a well deserved retirement. And I do mean the "well deserved" part. He has served his country well. But as a wise man once said: When your work is done, retire.

Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano will serve as an adviser to President-elect Barack Obama's White House transition.

Napolitano, now serving her second term, was a high-profile Obama campaign surrogate and is widely considered in line for a Cabinet post. In the interim, she will serve on a 12-member board that includes other familiar names such as former Transportation Secretary Federico Peña.

I've heard Lessig and Schneier proposed for various positions. Won't happen, but wouldn't it be a nerdgasm if it did?

And I'd love to see Buffett hand over the keys of Berkshire-Hathaway to secure a lasting legacy advising the financial futures of the nation. Seriously. Speaking as a Berkshire-Hathaway shareholder, knowing my stock would take a hit the second he stepped down. So worth it.

I think Buffett already said no.

Powell already has said he won't do it. And also says he has not been asked.

* Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly being considered for the head of Environmental Protection Agency, and he told HuffPo that he would take the job if it were offered.

That would be awesome.

Rahm Emanuel has been offered the Chief of Staff position, but has not accepted - despite what some media reports are saying.
