It is possible that a liberal-to-moderate Republican president would pick Timothy Geithner for Secretary of the Treasury, and of course Obama kept Robert Gates at Defense, at least for a while. I can also see a liberal-to-moderate Republican president picking Ken Salazar for Interior, Ray LaHood for Transportation and Arne Duncan for Education.
But McCain is not liberal-to-moderate, he is moderate-to-conservative. And there is no freaking way in the universe that a Republican would pick Hillary Clinton for State, Hilda Solis for Labor, Stephen Chu for Energy, or Tom Vilsack for Agriculture. Not a chance, ever, not if the world depended on it, would a Republican choose a pro-labor Secretary of Labor, or an Energy Secretary who believes in finding alternative energy sources. Nuh-uh, not ever.
