I'm surprised President Elect Obama didn't tap Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin for one of the cabinet posts.  From what I have read, she's been a good to great mayor and is considered a rising star in the Democratic party.

Does anyone know why he passed her over?  Theories?

Seriously though, he's probably under the delusion that she can win the Governor's seat in 2010.
