Who’s on the inside track for a Romney Cabinet

Politico ^ | 08/28/2012 | Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei

[Peter ODonnell]

People who have not arrived on earth yet.

Just kidding. They aren’t actually people as such.

Just kidding. Dave Romney, Fred Romney, Hank Romney, Steve Romney, Dan Romney, Ezekiel Romney, Tripp Romney, Paul Ryan (in-joke if you were watching CNN), Rodney Romney, would that be enough?

Yawn. ZZZZzzzz ....

Bolton probably lost the cronies confidence when he dropped a gay guy on Romney to make his first hire for a foreign policy spokesman.

You are not likely to see Bolton hanging around this guy's regime ~ ever~

[muawiyah]

Then this guy is probably the Mittbot equivalent of Tony Wiener ~ the Democrat’s most knowledgeable guy when it comes to ObamaKKKare.

Alan West - Sec of Defense....please!
Newt as SOS

[Loud Mime]

Romney needs to soft-pedal his picks and positions now; that’s politics.

I see that many freepers are telling the democrats they have nothing to fear; it may work out well.

[Fledermaus]

How about no one for Energy Sectretary? Eliminate the department. Ditto for the EPA, Dept of Education, etc.

[9YearLurker]

He ought to be—he’s at the trough making millions from it!

ANN COULTER would make a fine fine SEC. of DEFENSE....
it’d be the end of the jihadi threat that’s for sure...i believe she once advised ...’We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.’ That kind of intimidation pretty much settles our enemys stew. Bush paid attn. to it...it’s exactly what he did....SEC of STATE goes to the inestimable MICHELLE MALKIN...tough as nails takes no crap off anybody. We need a penny pincher for SEC OF TREASURY...wonder who we should give that job to....
Anybody else care to make more suggestions....?

I know he recently stated that he didn’t want to leave New Jersey, but I’m surprised Gov. Chris Christie’s name hasn’t surfaced as a possible candidate for the AG spot. As a former Federal prosecutor who doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks about him, he might be the ideal pick.

Chief trade negotiator: Donald Trump

Secretary of Energy, if you feel you must keep this agency: Sarah Palin

Speaking of NJ, age aside, (admittedly don’t know about his health) How about “Stormin’ Norman” as either SECDEF or SecState.

He definitely won’t take any guff from anyone so an R led Congress/Senate probably wouldn’t want him as SECDEF, where they would have to deal with him almost daily.

Of course ‘assuming’ we have basically the same Gen Schwarzkopf we all ‘knew and loved’.

How about Fast and Furious Special Prosecutor?

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: Homeland Security

“Leavitt is the prototypical Romney Cabinet pick — loyal, low-key and diligent, just the kind of person Romney likes to surround himself with.”

Sounds like the "Mormon Mafia" that Howard Hughes surrounded himself with, not that that's such a bad idea.

I like to tell my schoolteacher niece that Christie’s going to be the Secretary of Education - fun to watch her turn different colors.....
