Carol Marin, columnist at the Chicago Sun-Times, argues that Barack Obama should start naming his potential cabinet now, as part of the presidential campaign, rather than waiting until after the election, as has long been the custom.
And with John Edwards now out of the running for Attorney General, Marin suggests a superb choice for the post: Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. Attorney in charge of the Valerie Plame investigation AND the Tony Rezko trial.
Talk about punching a hole in the Republicans balloon!
Needless to say...I love both ideas.
