Why Janet Napolitano Is Right For Attorney General
The election is nigh 24 hours in the bank, and the rumor wires and scuttlebutt are exploding with discussion of the makeup of President-elect Barack Obama's cabinet and staff to be. Attorney General is a critical post in any administration; but perhaps at no time in history of the United States as important as this moment. Janet Napolitano is the complete package.

Barack Obama, irrespective of the policy specifics that we may each agree or disagree with, is a leader. He is a motivator. He brings hope. Today the switch is flipped. Get fired up! Get ready to go! Let's rock and roll folks!
Obama's Acceptance Speech
