Who are some of the most likely people to serve in President Hillary Clinton's administration?

There are many indeed, so add your possibilities to this thread.

I think Ellen Tauscher is a strong possibility. Cancer hasn't prevented her from remaining a strong Blue Dog New Democrat.

Who do you think are some of the potential components of President Clinton's administration?

Now that he knows how the first Clinton administration went wrong, Reich could be a good fit at Treasury.

The Clinton Administration got a whole lot more right than wrong.

Eight years of unprecedented economic growth and peace.

The Clinton Presidency growth was mainly a growth of speculative ventures, as well as growth in the carceral industry. Not even mentioning NAFTA and other assorted programs.

But yes, we can agree that GOP obstructionism increased tremendously and continued over the past eight years.

And the powers that be have already picked the candidate for the special election to fill his seat (a twice term-limited state congresswoman). A little birdie with the inside dope gleaned from the state Democratic convention told me this, but would not tell me WHAT position he will fill; he's got the bones to competently fill a number of positions.
