Would Barack Obama do the unthinkable? Would he offer his former Republican rival, John McCain, a position in his cabinet?

Not likely, still—-Obama is meeting with McCain in ChicagoMonday in the spirit of Obama’s bipartisan politics.

In all probability, Obama wants the symbolism of his meeting with McCain to make the 6o’clock news–shows he meant it when he said he intended to reach across the aisle.

Still, there is nothing stopping Obama from offering McCain a high ranking cabinet position–and, a good reason for McCain to say yes:  McCain is no longer the future of the GOP—maybe, God help us–Sarah Palin is? And while a Senate seat is powerful, McCain may have reached the limits of what he can do there.

And just think–imagine an Obama administration with Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, Bill Clinton as —whatever it is Bill Clinton is?–and John McCain.   A dream administration? Probably. But stranger things have happened—-this election for one!!!
