This is always exciting to think about/watch happen.
Looks like Rahm Emanuel will be his Chief of Staff, which is great. I think Emanuel is an exciting guy.
I agree with you that there will be a place for Bill Richardson somewhere. I also think he'll make room for Tom Daschle.
If he wants to appoint any Republicans, as I assume he will, I don't see him choosing a Senator. He's going to want as many moderate Republicans on his side as he can, so that it doesn't look like this is just a government of the Democratic Party. If he chooses a Republican cabinet member, I think it might come from the House or state politics. I've heard Schwarzenegger for Energy, but I don't see that happening.
I think that he'll keep Paulson in the Treasury for at least the beginning of his first term.

no one is really republican right?? I mean I voted yesterday, for Obama of course. But I mean, I'm only 19. I always thought Republicans were kind of just made up. Right? Right? amirite? amirite?

I've heard Caroline Kennedy could be the Ambassador to the UN, and that Robert Gates might stay on as department of Homeland Security, if not then Chuck Hagel

Dick Lugar has ruled out any job in an Obama cabinet, otherwise I would've thought he'd be in there somewhere.

Why pick Bill Cosby when you get some prime tail like OPRAH.

I bet he'll keep Patraeus and/or Gates on.

There will be at least one R in cabinet (esp a higher level position)

What do people think about Rahm Emanuel? Does this choice send a message about the dyamics of an Obama Administration?

They're saying John Kerry is "angling" for secretary of state. Personally i'd like to see Bill Clinton in that role.
