Obama's Cabinet Picks

NYT reports "Hillary Rodham Clinton has decided to give up her Senate seat and accept the position of secretary of state, making her the public face around the world for the administration of the man who beat her for the Democratic presidential nomination, two confidants said Friday."

Political Punch reports "After a very fluid process in which the identity of President-elect Obama's leading candidate for the job seemed to fluctuate like the market, on Friday New York Federal Reserve President Timothy Geithner emerged poised to become the next Secretary of the Treasury."

The Fix reports "New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has emerged as a "serious contender" to head the Commerce Department under President-elect Barack Obama, according to a Democratic official close to the proceedings."
