Cabinet Prognostications

The predictions for who Democratic U.S. Senator and President-Elect Barack Obama will chose to serve in his cabinet had already started, with some names expected and others surprises.
Happily, Governor Bill Richardson, my original pick for the presidential nomination, has been mentioned in several places for Secretary of State; wow, a person with international negotiating experience and with executive experience in a role to match his or her talents. I am expecting at least some support for retired General Wesley Clark for Secretary of Defense, but other names are also being bandied about.
I was surprised to hear of U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton being mentioned for Secretary of Health. Yes, she has pushed for health care for all Americans for years, but I don't remember hearing anything from her or her camp about seeking a cabinet position. Caroline Kenendy is being mentioned for the UN Ambassador post.
So, do any of you readers have any suggestions for cabinet appointments?
