There's been some concern that most of the names mentioned for Obama's cabinet are white guys. In part this is due to an overwhelming focus on Treasury, State, and Defense rather than, say, Justice where several women have a shot, or Homeland Security (Jane Harman is mentioned as a potential pick there). But I do think there will be fewer women in top-level cabinet jobs than many of us would like to see. In part, this isn't Obama's fault.

This seems like a truly terrible idea:

President-elect Barack Obama is strongly considering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Environmental Protection Agency, a Cabinet post, Democratic officials told Politico.

This is a man who thinks vaccines cause autism, and that a link between the two is being suppressed as part of a government/business conspiracy:

Salon.com printed Kennedy's article in which he made a highly speculative and unproven claim of a full-fledged government cover-up.
