The VP candidates were chosen in the previous Obama Veepstakes poll series. The top four were Bill Richardson, Jim Webb, Kathleen Sebelius and Tim Kaine. Janet Napolitano received a wildcard.
Again, these cabinets are compiled with the winners in the polls and a few wildcards. The five individual cabinets were put together randomly making sure that they all have the same level of diversity (gender, race, party, state).
Here's the Obama/Webb cabinet:

Again, these are not my personal choices. Here's what my Obama cabinet would look like.
You can also still rate:
An Obama/Richardson Cabinet
An Obama/Napolitano Cabinet
An Obama/Kaine Cabinet
An Obama/Sebelius Cabinet
And for those of you who think it's too early to talk about an Obama cabinet: I understand. But look at it this way: Seeing what an Obama cabinet could look like can be a great incentive to work even harder for Obama to win the election in November.
