With just 74 days to go until the inauguration, everyone wants to know who President-elect Barack Obama will name for key roles in his administration. Before his first press conference as president-elect, he said he would not be making any personnel announcements today. That didn't stop one tenacious reporter from asking Obama if whether he thought it was best to name the secretary of state and the secretary of treasury sooner rather than later. His response: "When we have announcements about cabinet appointments, we will make them. I want to move with deliberate haste." Rumors are swirling, and for your here are some names that have been mentioned as possible contenders for key roles, as compiled by the Associated Press.
