What would a Romney Cabinet look like?

[retromike22]

Let's speculate. Here are some ideas:

Secretary of State: Jon Huntsman, John Bolton
Secretary of Defense: David Petraeus, John McCain, Duncan Hunter
Secretary of the Treasury: Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, former President George Bush lol
Attorney General: Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani
Secretary of the Interior: Texas Governor Rick Perry
Secretary of Agriculture: Congressman Richard Hanna
Secretary of Commerce: Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam
Secretary of Labor: Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty
Secretary of Health and Human Services: Lieutenant Governor of Florida Jennifer Carroll, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal
Secretary of Transportation: Ray LaHood
Secretary of Energy: Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin
Secretary of Veterans Affairs: Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, Chuck Hagel
Secretary of Homeland Security - Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham

[Bandit3 the Worker]

It would look like the bar scene in 'Star Wars'.

[Mr. Morden]

Secretary of State: Paula Dobriansky or Jon Huntsman
Secretary of Defense: David Petraeus
Secretary of the Treasury: Meg Whitman or Robert Zoellick
Attorney General: Chris Christie, Susana Martinez, or Bob McDonnell
National Security Advisor: Dov Zakheim
UN Ambassador: Christopher Burnham

[Joe Republic]

Probably more fancy though.

[Mr. Morden]

Secretary of Homeland Security: Joe Lieberman:

(Big No)

Cabinet members don't usually determine a president's fate, but Lieberman anywhere in Romney's administration would likely guarantee a Democrat becomes our 46th President on January 20, 2017 and would raise the likelihood of a Democratic wave in 2014.

That's absurd.  I don't think Lieberman has been polled nationally since 2009 when health care reform was the hot topic, and back then opinion was fairly evenly split on him, with many people having no opinion:

My guess is that the number with no opinion has only grown in the last few years, since he hasn't been in the news much.

I was being facetious.

Petraeus is ineligible to be Secretary of Defense.  By law, no one who has served in the military in the past ten years may hold that post.  The earliest he could hold that post would be September 2021.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Huh, I never knew that. Maybe John McCain or Scott Brown?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

You think Brown will lose in Massachusetts?  There's no way Brown gets a cabinet post if he wins as the Democrats would be almost certain to regain the seat.

[Lief 🗽]

Herman Cain will likely be appointed Secretary of Defense.

[Mr. Morden]

Ah, forgot about that.  In that case, replace Petraeus on my list with Stephen Hadley.  Or maybe even Lieberman if he doesn't get Homeland Security.  Romney will want some pretend bipartisanship in a high profile position, and who better to fulfil the need for pretend bipartisanship than Lieberman?

[Mr. Morden]

Herman Cain will likely be appointed Secretary of Defense.

No, Secretary of Animal Torture.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Herman Cain will likely be appointed Secretary of Defense.

No, Secretary of Animal Torture.

Wouldn't that be Mike Vick?

Answer: A heck of a lot better than the Obama Cabinet (Although I do tip my hat to Clinton, a real American hero).

I have a little bit of spare time to post right now. Don't worry: I'll be back to lurking soon enough.

I highly doubt Governor Schweitzer would accept a cabinet post. He's likely to challenge Romney in 2016, and serving in his cabinet would do nothing but hurt him with Democrats.

Good point. See Jon Huntsman.
