Now it's Bill Richardson who might be Secretary of State.
I'm not sure I'm doing our readership any favors by keeping tabs on all this speculation -my computer is broken so I'm just putting up quick little posts during stops by the library- but if anyone wants to voice an opinion about this pick, I'd love to hear it.
Personally, this seems OK to me. Richardson has got hella foreign policy experience. Like Barack, he's a "mutt" raised partially abroad, giving him an internationalist pedigree (mutt and pedigree, huh?) Also, as far as I can tell, Richardson has never threatened another country with nuclear holocaust, a definite bonus!
Anyway, I hope it's him over HRC.
As long as I'm speculating. He's a quote from Politico's new piece on Howard Dean (PBUH).
Whether Dean would like to join the administration [...], he would not say. (Which usually means yes.) He is a medical doctor who began his presidential run in 2004 not by talking about the Iraq war, which became his signature issue, but by talking about health care, especially child health care.Is there even the slightest possibility that Howard Dean could be given Surgeon General? Could he ever get congressional approval? Is this just some crazy Liberal dream?
Any thoughts?

It would be a fortuitous day were Obama to ask Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont, “Mr. Dean…What about the Abenaki?”
I’m certain the sinking pit Mr. Dean would get in his stomach could not be hidden by his poker face.
Civil Rights means not putting up with racism. There’s no place in a fair and decent administration for anyone who has so actively waged a campaign against such a trodden minority.
I hope a reporter asks Obama (before he hands out jobs) if he has any idea about Dean’s historical mistreatment of these people.

Interesting, I'd never heard of the complaints of the Abenaki before.
I'm assuming you're referring to this.
