"It's Washington's favorite parlor game during a presidential transition: trying to figure out who'll land a top spot in the new administration," the Associated Press reports. "President-elect Barack Obama is weighing an array of Washington insiders and outsiders, including some Republicans, for Cabinet and other top positions, according to Democratic officials. Education Secretary: Colin Powell, former secretary of state, former chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, New York schools chief Joel Klein, Arne Duncan, chief executive officer of Chicago public schools, Inez Tenenbaum, former South Carolina schools superintendent."
