Arizona governor top choice for homeland security, sources say
Posted: 07:16 AM ET
From Jessica Yellin, John King and Gloria Borger
CNN
(CNN) — 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.One source said he believed the final decision depends on the vetting of
the Democratic governor, much like the selection of Eric Holder for attorney
general.

Also, multiple Democratic sources say billionaire Chicago businesswoman
Penny Pritzker is Obama’s leading choice for commerce secretary. Pritzker ran
Barack Obama’s record-breaking fundraising effort, serving as the campaign’s
finance chair.

The sources say she would accept the job, which would not be formally
offered until vetting is complete. But whether the rigors of the particular
Obama vetting process will present a challenge to a business woman with no
record in public office — and presumably extensive financial holdings — was
unknown.
