powell is more or less assured a spot, no? secretary of state?
could obama make a "connecting" choice as mccain for sec. of defense?
No. Obama owes too many favors to too many crazy liberals. Expect a cabinet of people like the worst aspects of the Clinton adminstration (the Madeline Albrights and Sandy Bergers). The closet thing to a "Republican" you'll see in his administration would be either someone like Powell or that anti-war GOP Senator Richard Lugar.
