  Although many of the big ones are taken - chief of staff, secretary of defense, state, there are still a few key positions open in the new Obama administration.

  Among those yet to be picked, and an insider's look at who's in the running from Politico:

  Secretary of Energy

  And Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin got hit harder than anyone, according to eight out of 10 respondents to the poll conducted for the Lifetime television channel.

  Is Barack Obama an American? Why are we still asking this question?

  Is his birth certificate forged or real? Can we just get over this?

  But no, there are now web sites whose sole purpose is to prove Obama wasn't really born in Hawaii and his birth certificate is forged. The U.S. Supreme Court might get into the picture as well.

  Here's a little irony for you.

  During the heat of the Democratic presidential primary, Hillary Clinton ran ads asking voters who they wanted to answer the 3 a.m. emergency call at the White House. In the end, voters said they wanted Barack Obama to answer it.

  The obvious affection and respect Barack and Michelle Obama show each other could bring about a positive change in relationships, according to experts in this article.

  The Politico has an interesting piece focusing on the "evolution" of the Obama-Clinton relationship.

  It's one that's gone full-circle - probably a couple of times - and now ends with Obama as president-elect and Clinton as his Secretary of State.

  Pretty cool sounding name, but it's only a name. In actuality, and according to the U.S. Constitution, the Office of the President-elect doesn't exist. It has no authority. Nada.

  From celebrities on the way to working in government being cool once again, Barack Obama already is impacting Washington.

  Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is out promoting his new book, Do The Right Thing.
