As a general rule, this blogger does not approve of wild speculation over Cabinet appointments. There are more entertaining ways to waste time. But the New York Times new "If You Were President" tool is highly entertaining, if only because of the look it provides at how readers view the Cabient. 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!
