Exactly. I wish that nominees for at least a few of those positions were revealed prior to the election, but having said that, I tend toward trusting Obama to fill those spots wisely. It was an important factor in my decision.

People generally don't do that because it's embarrassing to be selected by someone who goes on to lose. This is especially true for nominees who could easily work for either candidate.
