We already have three of Obama's Primary rivals as being likely parts of the Obama administration (Biden - VP, Clinton -SoS, Richardson - Commerce).  Who else, if anyone, is he likely to pick - and for what position(s)?

100% guaranteed none.

Dodd would do it, but Obama can't let let the Republican governor replace him

Kucinich for Secretary of Peace

I think Dodd would be a no-go for his ties to Country Wide

Gravel - old coot
Edwards - sex scandal
Kucinich - too many loopy statements, and probably happy where he is
Dodd - would be replaced by Republican governor

None of the Above.

The only person in that list, that I could imagine in the Obama cabinet would be Chris Dodd. However he won't be appointed to any cabinet position in the Obama Administration thanks in part to Republican Jodi Rell being Governor of Connecticut. Now say Rell for somewhat reason managed to lose re-election in 2006 to New Haven Mayor, John DeStefano, Jr., Obama might actually consider Senator Dodd for a cabinet position.

None.  If it weren't for Rell, Dodd would have a spot too.

Obama would take a huge media hit if he appointed Dodd to anything right now.

Not going to happen, but it'd be extremely ironic if Dodd was hired out of his slot and the two senators from Connecticut were Chris Shays and Joe Lieberman.

None.  Dodd if it weren't for the RINO Governor.

Edwards deserves nothing but shame for the rest of his life.
