12. Ted Strickland would make a good appointee, regardless of gender.

Though up in years, Strickland is sharp, and his knowledge and experience should be used in some way by the administration.

I personally believe his age would be detrimental in a run for major office against a likely younger opponent, but he is energetic and has much to contribute.
