President Barack Obama
Congrats to him. I wish him and his family the best of luck. We'll be watching.

The next big milestone will be who he surrounds himself with for a staff of advisors and consultants. This will be the most important step of the process. A president is only as good as who he confides in and takes advice from.

I would imagine that his chief of staff will be the first big one and the rest of the choices should move rather quickly after that.

Exactly. I wish that nominees for at least a few of those positions were revealed prior to the election, but having said that, I tend toward trusting Obama to fill those spots wisely. It was an important factor in my decision.

I think there's a decent chance he'll appoint Colin Powell to his cabinet. That would be interesting.

I bet he would gladly have him. I seriously doubt he would accept.

I heard commentators predicting he'll bring in some key republicans. I do hope so. Like I said in another post, what's needed is a raprochement of some kind between the two sides of the body politic.

The transition team is already in Washington, hard at work. They've got a lot of work to do.

he should throw Ron Paul into the mix just to spice things up a bit.

I'd just like to also throw out a congrats to Lewis Hamilton; the youngest ever Formula 1 champion, and the first black champion as well.
I can only imagine what the last few days must mean to young black lads growing up in my own country. |

Chris Shays is looking for work. Being in a state like PA that is pretty evenly divided conservative/liberal it seems really weird that New England has 0 Republican representatives.
