But I still havent been promised a job in the Obama admin.
I'm not shooting to high....maybe Special Assistant (3rd level) to the Pres for [fill in the blank] as opposed to Assistant (top level) or Deputy Assistant (2nd level).
But seriously, if you were to look at Obama's core of advisors, you will find a very broad spectrum of opinion and postions, most of whom are Washington outsiders (unlike McCain and Clinton)
