    She is very progressive. A good pick.

    Excellent choice! I'm sure there is a lot of work for her to do as enforcement has been sorely lacking in all agencies under Bush. I was at Labor when Reich came in; the first thing he did was close the Executive Cafeteria. You would see him striding down the hallways - a very small man with a big job.

    I was hoping for him again. : ) But, Solis is a terrific choice, and progressive.

    So on top of Rick Warren it looks like there will not be a gay cabinet member.

    is this snark? i honestly can't tell.

    Good choice! Even though Solis is Catholic, she's also pro-choice, very progressive. She's the rep that Duncan Hunter chided for calling Bush "Bush."

    Feisty!

    Note to President-Elect Obama: It’s okay to have a few Democratic white males in your administration. We’ll still give you points for diversity.

    Not even a closeted gay like Condi Rice or Janet Reno in Obama's candidate, it seems.

    Honestly, wouldn't one of the union guys been a better choice? I guess he had to pick a Californian for his cabinet, but labor will be the biggest challenge for years to come. Throwing a bone to Latinos, while possibly ignoring the real need here seems lame.
