If all three made their announcements at a time appropriate to the state of the nation, it's difficult to draw any conclusions about how fast they made their decisions.<BR/><BR/>Second, to determine how fast something is moving, you've got to have both a start and a stop date. It's not enough to know that Obama is announcing earlier in the calendar than past president-elects, you've got to know when he seriously started thinking about his team. Given national circumstances, I'd bet he put in a lot more thought into his cabinet over the summer than the last two presidents did. He might actually be taking longer to make up his mind than W. and Clinton.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
