An AG that will go after corporate fraud and the Enrons of the world (like Spitzer and Waxman)would be great addition to a solid economic team, and to have sensible R's in a few key posts (like Collins at Commerce, or Lugar at State) would give Dems a chance to show what real bipartisan cooperation looks like. But posts like Defence, AG, Interior, and Treasury should not be open to anyone who doesn't oppose PNAC, Patriot, Kyoto, and RecklessTaxCutsForTheWealthy, respectively.
