So people from the PNAC are not going to be on McCains cabinet, people like Richard Perle, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Bill Kristol...... John McCain believes in american supremacy just like those guys from PNAC do.

Rice won't be back, I'm pretty sure of that. Gramm for Treasury? Huckabee will probably get strong consideration. Giuliani as AG makes some sense, Homeland Security might also not be a bad fit, which would make room for Lindsay Graham.

I like Forbes a lot but I doubt a cabinet post would hold much allure for him. A lot will also depend on how the GOP does down-ticket. If McCain doesn't have coattails then we could see some congressmen and women looking for jobs. If the miracle occurs and they clean up and perhaps take back the house, he'll have fewer people cadging him for a slot.

Carly Fiorina will almost certainly be in the mix--possibly Treasury, possibly Commerce. Don't forget to bean count--McCain needs more women in the mix. Pickens? I doubt that.

Nor will he ever need a 'cabinet'. (other than for his skeletons)

Hell, I will wager that he has trouble finding the drawer where he left his Viagra.......and that is why Condi would never consider working for him.

I don't know which is crazier about that list: the collection of Bush retreads or Rudy in a position of responsibility of any kind.

God Emperor of 9/11 for all I care, as long as there's only toy weaponry involved.

Kind of useless picking a cabinet for him, isn't it?
