The list of likely appointees to come from either candidate post-election can be forecasted from those party members not currently in elective office. My guess includes the following:

DEM: Howard Dean, Bill Richardson, Andrew Tobias, Alexis Herman, Patrick Leahy, Ted Sorenson, Tom Daschle, Lottie Shackelford, Mark Brewer, Philip McNamara.

REP: Rudy Giuliani, Mike Duncan, Frank Donatelli, Carly Fiorina, Jo Ann Davidson, Newt Gingrich, J.C. Watts, Michael Steele, Pete McCloskey, Tom Campbell.

When we vote for a president, we are also, in essence, voting for who will be part of the entourage and actually responsible for advising, creating/interpreting policy, and spending the money. So, the question really is, which team to you prefer to see advising, creating/interpreting policy, and spending the money?
