  • Watch out for Schwartzeneggar

    Don't look now but I think it could be Ahnold. That way Obama gets to appoint a Republican who has no chance of becoming president.  He boosts his bipartisan image and looks good to moderates. The Governator brings with him a ready-made voter constituency.  Liberals and enviros will have a hard time finding something to go after him on.  On Obama considers RFK Jr. for EPA posted 1 year ago 34 Responses

  • I think Katie McGinty is the more likely choice

    Rahm Emanuel is going to be the decider on this one; Obama doesn't know the players in the environmental community that well and will rely on Emanuel. Rahm is not going to want a public debate on whether a former heroin addict should be given a top job in the administration. Carol Browner is on the transition team and she will likely push for McGinty, her protege'.  And the Obama team owes one to Rendell, and wants to keep Pennsylvania, a potential swing state, happy. Katie is head of the DEP there.  McGinty is seen as having sold out on a few issues for political reasons but I think she is generally respected by both pro- and anti-environmental interests.On Obama considers RFK Jr. for EPA posted 1 year ago 34 Responses
