I'm not sure yet what role I see them in, but I've always really respected Colin Powell & Bill Bradley.
This is a good question, I'll have to think about it......

Warren Buffet for Treasury.

Hillary Clinton - Department of Health &
Human Services
I realize this sounds insane, but I'd like McCain to get a Cabinet post - even though they have different policies. Maybe Homeland Security so it's not so close in the line of sucession

I did think about that but then erased it only because I think it would be marginalizing his role somewhat - kind of like putting him out to pasture, kwim?

I was initially afraid for both he and Clinton in the positions I would put them in as well. (I work with HHS all the time and it's not a very glam spot lol)
but I think they could really bring both veterans and health care issues to the forefront of Congressional and popular thought. I think if there is a difference going to be made in these two areas, THEY are the people to do it.

State: Al Gore
Treasury: Warren Buffet
Defense: Colin Powell
Attorney General: Andrew Cuomo
Homeland Security: Rudy Giuliani
National Security: John McCain
Agriculture: no idea
Commerce: no idea
Education: Kathleen Sebelius (Gov of Kansas)
Energy: T Boone Pickens
HHS: Me! (He'll probably go the academic route and pick a former president of a University, like Clinton did when he picked Donna Shalala - former pres. of Hunter College)
HUD: Jimmy Carter
Sec of Interior:
Labor:
Transportation: Sarah Palin
Veteran's Affairs: Who is the former Senator who is a Vietnam vet who lost his legs and one arm - a democrat - served with John Kerry. I completely forgot his name - but I liked him.
UN Secretary: Wesley Clarke
EPA:
Council of Economic Advisers:
Chief of Staff: David Axelrod!
Supreme Court nominee (when available):
As much as I'd like to see Hillary in a Cabinet Position, I think she'll have more power as a senior senator. With Kennedy's health failing, she'll primed to be the lioness of the Senate.

I just heard on the news that Oprah is highly rumored to be asked. I was like also. I am trying to figure out what she can do from the list and I am stumped.

I hope she's not asked. I stopped watching her show years ago when I realized all she does is ask experts onto her show and then talk over them or re-phrase their comments and act like she came to the realization herself. So annoying!
Although I do admit that she does a lot to encourage everyone to be philanthropic and it's great that she was able to get people into reading more.

I also hope she's not asked. Sorry, but Oprah does not have the experience necessary for a cabinet position! I think she'd be an extremely poor choice for ANY of those positions.
