Well, there'll be at least one Republican in the cabinet: confirmed.

Kroft: Will there be Republicans in the cabinet?

Mr. Obama: Yes.

Kroft: More than one?

Mr. Obama: You're not getting more out of me.

1. yes ... there will be one Republican in the cabinet ...

but who will hold the key, and who will let Lieberman out of the cabinet?

2. My guess...

Alan Keyes :-)

[Ozma]

3. Sarah Palin, too!!! LOL

[book_worm]

4. that is hardly a bombshell since many administrations have one or more members

of the opposition party in the cabinet.

[Jackeens]

6. Not claiming it to be a bombshell, just quoting what the President Elect said! n/t

[Cha]

8. I saw that and I'm thinking

Team Obama is going to find the one smart republican to bring to the table.

[WinkyDink]

9. Modern examples?

[JeffR]

10. William Cohen in the Clinton Admin.

Norm Mineta in Shrub's.

[Jennicut]

12. Cohen was very good in the Clinton administration

My guess is a very moderate Republican, maybe Chuck Hagel or one of the senators from Maine.

[ecstatic]

5. The good news is that Obama will think of them as enemies

Or at least, that is what I inferred from the questions about Lincoln's Team of Rivals.

So we have nothing to worry about!

[AllentownJake]

7. Chuck Hagel

Obama and Chuck Hagel appear to get along very well.

11. I wouldn't mind seeing more than 1 Republican

Just pick ones who are competent and moderate to liberal in the relevant area.
