Cabinet Watch: Napolitano for DHS, Pritzker for Commerce

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

Not a bad consolation prize for not getting Attorney General:

President-elect Barack Obama’s top choice for secretary of homeland security is Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, multiple Democratic sources close to the transition told CNN on condition of anonymity. - CNN
and
Also, multiple Democratic sources say billionaire Chicago businesswoman Penny Pritzker is Obama’s choice for commerce secretary. The sources say she will accept the job, which would be formally offered after vetting is complete. Pritzker ran Barack Obama’s record-breaking fundraising effort, serving as the campaign’s finance chair. - CNN
We're keeping track of all of the Presidential Appointments that require Senate Confirmation as well as Presidential Appointments Not Needing Confirmation, as well as Cabinet rumors.

Update: Pritzker has pulled her name from consideration.
