The Rainbow Cabinet

I am amused by the growing chorus of stories about various interest groups complaining not enough of their members are in the president elects cabinet. By my count Southerners, women, union folk, and African Americans have all appeared in the media whining about not enough seats at the table.

The big question to me is whether there is actual discord among these groups or this is an orchestrated move to boost Obama's moderate bonafides by showing him pissing off a lot of the traditional democrat interest groups (the above plus the Warren flap with the gay community). Either way, I am pretty happy with all the picks this far and am excited for his assembled team.
