I'd personally love to see Russ Feingold in there, at State. Maybe Wes Clark at defense? That's a bit bog-standard though. Truthfully, I'd rather see a civilian at Defense.
Predictions?

Re: Obama Administration - who would you like to see?
Well since no one wants to take a stab at this then I will...
Interesting question...
Secretary of Defense - Colin Powell -- it'll never happen but I would love Gen. Wesley Clark here if Powell declines...word is that Robert Gates will keeping his post though
Attourney General -Janet Napolitano
Secretary of State - Kerry is lobbying hard but I doubt it will happen...other names possible Susan Rice, Greg Craig, U.N. Ambassador Dick Holbrooke
Secretary of Treasury - Tim Geithner seems to be the fav, also possible that Larry Summers or Paul Volcker could be chosen
The mark of a good leader is one who chooses great advisors that can work together as a team...I hope for the best!
Re: Obama Administration - who would you like to see?
Yea, Kerry really is damaged goods. Poor guy. I agree with what you said about good leaders picking a team that can work together. I'm sure that will be one of the guiding principles in making these selections.
Re: Obama Administration - who would you like to see?
It sounds like Kerry is just busting his ass to get that position but I am going to guess that Obama wants everything to be fresh and a former 2004 presidential candidate is not that at all...
