Serious question. And how would they have been better?
Hillary?
Edwards?
Biden?
Gravel?
Dodd?
Kucinich?
Bayh?
Vilsack?
Other?
Incoming administrations pick as staff people who worked in previous administrations because they have experience and connections and know how the systems work. Chaos results when masses of new people without those attributes assume high positions. Look at Carter's experience - http://en.wikipedia....ssional_relations
