Obama Cabinet Poll - My Choices for an Obama Cabinet

The Obama Cabinet Poll series is almost over. Next week I will put together 5 different cabinets out of your 3 top choices in each round and either the 4th and/or 5th in each round or a wildcard where necessary to ensure diversity. You are then able to rate each cabinet on a scale from 1 to 10. The cabinet with the best average will then be the winner of this series.

Today is the last day you can vote in all of these polls and in several of them your vote can still make a difference.

Below the fold you will also find my personal choices for an Obama cabinet. With one caveat though: In almost all rounds I had several candidates I liked. My Obama cabinet could have looked entirely different as well.

Vice President - this poll series is already over. The top four were Bill Richardson, Jim Webb, Tim Kaine & Kathleen Sebelius. An additional wildcard will go to a woman. You can choose in the poll below who this woman should be.

You can still vote in all of these polls. In several of them you can still make quite a difference. In parentheses is the vote difference between the current safe 3rd place and the not safe 4th place. I especially ask you to vote in the last three polls as they are all still below 100 votes:

Secretary of State (Bill Richardson will get a wildcard) (VD: 4 votes)

Secretary of the Treasury (VD: 12 votes)

Secretary of Defense (VD: 7 votes)

Attorney General (VD: 0 votes)

Secretary of the Interior (Les AuCoin's vote total will not count due to ridiculously obvious and stupid poll stuffing) (VD: 1 votes)

Secretary of Agriculture (VD: 0 votes)

Secretary of Commerce (VD: 1 votes)

Secretary of Labor (Robert Reich and John Edwards will receive a wildcard) (VD: 5 votes)

Secretary of Health and Human Services (VD: 20 votes)

Secretary of Housing and Urband Development (VD: 0 votes)

Secretary of Transportation (VD: 0 votes)

Secretary of Energy (VD: 1 votes)

Secretary of Education (VD: 5 votes)

Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VD: 4 votes)

Secretary of Homeland Security (VD: 4 votes)

White House Chief of Staff (VD: 19 votes)

Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (VD: 3 votes)

Director of the Office of Management and Budget (VD: 3 votes)

United States Trade Representative (VD: 1 votes)

You can vote in all or several of these polls. I just ask you to not vote more than once in each poll.
