He named Robert Reich as a potential Secretary of Labor, iirc.

And I believe that he said he would be willing to serve.

It's a pity that Feingold is running for Senate in this case. He would make a great Secretary of State.

Perhaps Richard Cordray for Secretary of the Treasury. Byron Dorgan for Secretary of the Interior. I doubt that Warren or Sherrod Brown would leave the Senate for the Cabinet.

Would Bernie be likely to keep anyone from the Obama administration?

A lot of Democratic Party approved people most likely. It goes without saying that a centrist/corporate faction of the Democratic Party would hold his Presidency captive for as long as he was in office.

Honestly, I wonder who he would pick as chairmen of the Fed

Richard Trumka or the actual economist Winona LaDuke.

Jim Hightower would be fun, especially as Secretary of Agriculture or Energy.

Reich as Treasury would make sense from the Sanders' POV.

Of course all of this assumes that progressive/left-leaning activists that would presumably be part of a Bernie Sanders administration/cabinet could get confirmed by the Senate...
