Breaking -- NBC News Says [New Mexico Governor] Richardson Will Get Commerce
The Albuquerque Journal ^ | November 21, 2008 | Bruce Daniels

Network's Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd reporting Obama will name his economic team Monday.

1:55pm UPDATE: The New York Times is reporting that Sen. Hillary Clinton has decided to quit her Senate seat and accept the post of Secretary of State, according to two Clinton confidants.

Senior advisers to President-elect Barack Obama told the Times this morning that the offer had not been formally accepted and no announcement would be made until after Thanksgiving, but said they were convinced the deal was ready to be sealed.

NBC News is reporting that President-elect Barack Obama will roll out his economic team on Monday and will personally announce that N.Y. Federal Reserve President Tim Geithner will replace Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson Jr. and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will be his new Secretary of Commerce.

Obama reportedly will hold a question-and-answer session at the announcement Monday in an effort to reassure markets, NBC's Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell reported minutes ago.

Jake Tapper on the ABC News blog "Political Punch" reported a short time ago that Richardson was a leading candidate for the Commerce post, saying the news that Richardson had emerged as a serious contender for Commerce was first broken by Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post.

We beg to differ. The Albuquerque Journal's Washington correspondent Michael Coleman gave us the first inkling that Richardson was being considered as Commerce Secretary about the same time Cillizza did on Thursday.

Not many white males in the Cabinet lineup so far. In fact zero.

I am excluding Daschle b/c he is not male obviously.

Holder, Hillary, Richardson, Daschle.

Yeah, this is Bubba's third term.

Shall we start a pool on the date when Biden resigns and is replaced with Hillie?

At least 2 people in the Administration know what to do when the National Anthem is being played. Other than that there has to be something else positive about these nominations. I'll let yaz all know if I think of anything.

Actually, Lincoln’s “Unity Cabinet” was consumed with infighting and backstabbing.

I forgot to mention Napolitano. I’m having a hard time classifying that one.

I find it peculiar that Obama is furiously putting together his cabinet.
