With internal GOP polls looking good and PA swinging McCain, it may be time to think about the cabinet. I would stick with Gates as SOD and go with Mitt for Treasury. What do you think?

[napscoordinator]

I agree with those two picks. Romney in anything dealing with economy will be a huge boost to his presidency.

[Thane_Banquo]

Chuck Norris for SecDef!

[54skylark]

I like either Rudy or Fred as AG

[Paine in the Neck]

Makes my skin crawl to see Lindsey Graham mentioned for multiple positions. But, let’s win first, then deal with that.

[Sybeck1]

Duncan Hunter for Sec of Defense!!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Fred as AG. Bolton for State.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Knowing McCain, he’ll probably ask Obama to become the Education Secretary.

[agere_contra]

Maybe he’ll offer him Ambassador to Kenya.

I would like to see Gen General James Cartwright as Sec Def (although Keeping Gates isn’t a bad idea), Bolton Sec of State (clean-up time), Steve Forbes- Treasury or Commerce...

[Salamander]

Naaah...save Chuck for Homeland Security.

I’d much rather see him kicking liberal ass...:)

Yeah, but at least if Lindsey gets a high position in the McCain Administration, we won't hear whining from the gay community about the administration not being "inclusive."

[GOPsterinMA]

Joe Lieberman for SOD.

CT Gov. Rell(R) appoints a R to replace him (might need to to still have the fillibuster available). Either way it's a +1 for the GOP Senate.

I could also see a Ben Nelson or other D Senator from a Republican state being tapped as a way to boost the GOP Senate.

I give Mac credit for being cagey.

[napscoordinator]

Rudy for AG would be great. Fred would be good a Chief of Staff I believe.

[Salamander]

Obama has more experience in the DEA realm.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Venezuela would be better as we need a well schooled socialist to be able to speak to another well schooled socialist dictator.

[pgyanke]

My picks:

State: Bolton
SecDef: Hunter
AG: Rudy
Treasury: Epstein

McCain’s Likely Picks:

State: Graham
SecDef: Lieberman
AG: Schwartzeneggar
Treasury: Obama

I already voted for the guy... but he is who he is...

[Salamander]

Ben Nighthorse Campbell for transportation.

[bergmeid]

Hate to tell y’all this ;-), but you had better believe that he’s going to put several women in there.....

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Wife & I voted Saturday. 15 minute wait to get a ballot.
