Just the beginning

Election may have been the easy part. Governing will be difficult.

That said, my picks for key Obama cabinet posts (with notes about who I think it will be:

Chief of Staff:
My pick: David Plouffe
Will be: Rahm Emmanuel (my problem with Emmanuel is I think he's too short-sighted)

State:
My pick: Dick Lugar
Will be: Dick Lugar

Treasury:
My pick: Tim Geithner
Will be: Larry Summers

Defense:
My pick: Robert Gates
Will be: Chuck Hagel

According to some friends at JPM, there was a story on their intranet that said that Jamie Dimon was near the top of Obama's short list for Secretary of the Treasury. Not sure he would take it, but it is an interesting pick and would greatly improve the communication coming from that position to the public.
