A Hypothetical Cabinet Of Curiosities

By ALYSSA ROSENBERG, Government Executive

The New York Times' new "If You Were President" tool is worth giving a look, if only for the insight it provides into how readers view the Cabinet.

More participants, so far, would like to see Oprah Winfrey or Ralph Nader be secretary of state than would like to see Madeline Albright reprise her role. More Times readers see Dennis Kucinich as attorney general than picked David Iglesias, a former U.S. Attorney. And "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer is beating out Bill Clinton in voting for secretary of the treasury. Take that, Big Dog!
