[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the four big slots (State, DOJ, Defense, Treasury) is going to have to go to a person of color and another is going to have to go to a woman or POC Diversity is important to the Democrats, and even more important to the movers and shakers (Clyburn, Hispanic Caucus, Womans groups)

Blinken is at State. Yellen is at Treasury.

I like Lloyd Austin at Defense. Maybe Sally Yates at DOJ?

Yates would be a great choice, but there is concern about her getting through confirmation. Flournoy is more qualified than the other candidates for Sec Def, who don't really have strong policy chops, though it would be strange to have so many officials from West Exec. But maybe Flournoy and either Jeh Johnson or Deval Patrick for attorney general? Patrick seems like a great pick but I guess some are unhappy with him for his presidential nom run.[/quote]
Wasn’t Doug Jones also being mentioned for AG?[/quote]

Yes, and he'd be a great choice but heavy pressure on Biden for more diversity in his picks.[/quote]
