President-Elect Obama appoints advisers

Since our nation made history a little over a week ago, electing Senator Barack Obama the first African American President in US history, I have been diligently watching as he and Vice President-Elect Joe Biden appoint their staff.

My favorite appointment so far: "Klain was also chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore, but he's no stranger to Vice President-elect Joe Biden, having served as chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee when Biden was the committee chairman.

Klain also served as general counsel of Gore's 2000 Florida recount effort and was portrayed by actor Kevin Spacey in an HBO movie about the event."

I spent all of Recount rooting for his character and am so pleased that he has a position at the head of Biden's staff.
