Looks like Barack Obama is planning to make better on his promise to include Republicans in his Cabinet. In addition to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Barack Obama is in talks with Rep. Ray LaHood of Illinois to take a Cabinet post—most likely, reports The Hill, secretary of transportation. When reached for comment, LaHood would only say that Rahm Emanuel had contacted him last night. A GOP source said, however, that the position is transportation, and that the team would likely announce it on Friday.
