USA Today offers a poll on how Americans view Obama’s cabinet appointments thusfar. From the article by Susan Page:
By 69%-25%, those surveyed approve of his pick of New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, his former Democratic primary rival, as secretary of State.
By an even wider margin, 80%-14%, they favor his decision to ask President Bush’s Pentagon chief, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, to stay on the job.

Nice start with the blog. Wish it was available as a Yahoo link so I could put it on my home page. Maybe that’s a future improvement.
I want a Secretary of State Clinton doll and a Secretary of Commerce Richardson doll right after a Governor Palin doll.
Keeping Gates was an interesting move. I would have liked to see a different republican in the cabinet.
