Pundit of the Month # 2

The Rules:

Nominate/predict/guesstimate up to 19 Members of POTUS #44's Cabinet. Just name the names. You do not have to identify which Department each will head. If your selections are nominated by POTUS #44 to fill some of the following positions, you will score the designated number of points. The Departments are listed in order of the number points to be awards:

5-State = Clinton
5-Defense = Gates
5-Attorney General = Holder
5-Treasury = Geithner
4-Director of National Security = Jones
4-President's Chief-of-Staff = Emanuel
3-Ambassador to the United Nations = Rice
3-Homeland Security = Napolitano
3-Environmental Protection Agency
3-Energy
2-Veterans Affairs
2-Labor
2-Interior
2-Commerce = Richardson
1-Transportation
1-Housing and Urban Development,
1-Health and Human Services = Daschle
1-Education
1-Agriculture

Therefore if you happen to name the all people selected for these 19 positions (in whatever combination) you would score 53 points.

Here are some additional technical rules:

1. This is open to all who have a registered blogging name. OpenID's are permitted; anonymous nominations are not.

4. In the event of a tie, the entry with the earlier date, wins.
   
5. The deadline will be midnight, November 5th, 2008.
6. Contest will be scored as soon as POTUS #44 has nominated someone to each of the 16 posts or 30 November, whichever comes first.
