Here are the compiled lists of Christian American for top Administration jobs, sub-cabinet jobs, and outside boards/agencies/policy committees. A couple things to note about the list of Christian American candidates: 1) In the candidates for top jobs, I excluded those with some Arab American background but who are not Christian (e.g., George Mitchell). Many Lebanese Americans, for example, are Muslim. In the last list (of outside boards/commissions), most who are listed appear to be Christian American, except that a handful (where noted) may be Arab American but of uncertain religion (esp. Muslim). 2) There is only one candidate I thought was a viable one for a Secretary-level job among the Christian Americans. That said, on both lists, there are some very senior people listed in the last category (for outside boards/commissions) who conceivably could be considered for top jobs. The very senior people I put on the last list tended not to be terribly involved in politics or policy, or in the case of some Christian Americans, had already served in the Clinton and even Carter Administrations and so I thought we should seek new talent. But there's no magic to some of the placements. I think the lists are fairly exhaustive, but some of the people may be moved to other categories. 3) High-profile Christian Americans tend to be the subject of a fair amount of blogger criticism, and so the individuals on this list would need to be ESPECIALLY carefully vetted. I suspect some of the people I list would not survive such a vet -- but I do personally know, at least in part, virtually all of the candidates in the 1st two categories (but I know very few of those listed for outside boards/commissions). 4) I listed the elected Christian American democratic officials at the end of the second category, but for various reasons, I didn't think any of them would necessarily be suitable for an Administration appointment. Nevertheless, I wanted to flag them for you in case you wanted to evaluate them further. DOJ list will be coming in the next two days. Judges and USAttorneys will still take about 10 days. Let me know if the latter are needed sooner.
