Obama Cabinet Poll - An Obama/Richardson Cabinet

Within the past month I put forth 19 polls with 15 candidates each to figure out who you guys want in an Obama cabinet. With voting in all rounds now over I compiled five different cabinets and will put them all up for a vote this week.

Who got included in the final cabinets: the top three in each poll automatically made it into these final cabinet polls, in some cases also the 4th and 5th. However, to make sure that the cabinets are as diverse as possible I gave some candidates who didn't have enough votes a wildcard.

Each day this week you can rate a cabinet. Today, you can rate a possible Obama/Richardson cabinet on a scale from 1 (hate it) to 10 (love it). At the end I will post the results and the cabinet with the highest average wins.

The VP candidates were chosen in the previous Obama Veepstakes poll series. The top four were Bill Richardson, Jim Webb, Kathleen Sebelius and Tim Kaine. Janet Napolitano received a wildcard.

Again, these cabinets are compiled with the winners in the polls and a few wildcards. The five individual cabinets were put together randomly making sure that they all have the same level of diversity (gender, race, party, state).

And for those of you who think it's too early to talk about an Obama cabinet: I understand. But look at it this way: Seeing what an Obama cabinet could look like can be a great incentive to work even harder for Obama to win the election in November.
