On Friday mornings, I take a look at NewsLadder and see what's up. Last week, it was all John McCain, you might remember him, picked a VP who thinks Africa is a country and is now sitting in Arizona wondering what happened.
This week, on Wednesday, we launched the Cabinet NewsLadder to track all the news about what is happening with Barack Obama's Cabinet selections and major appointments, we knew that it would be a huge topic online, but we didn't know quite how big.
Our traffic has been great, and opinions, and votes, are pouring in from all over the world.
Secretary of State. Clearly, the consensus online is that John Kerry or Bill Richardson would be great picks but there is also growing, and significant concern about the rumors surrounding Richard Lugar; how can we possibly pick a Secretary of State who is pro-life? I agree with that by the way. And also with the growing sentiment that the Republicans are the ones who fubared our standing in the world, why would we give them the keys to that department?
And there are plenty of stories, and opinions, about the one person who actually has been appointed, Rahm Emmanuel. And a lot of people agree with Mr. Bowers in this one by the way.
