Democratic officials say President-elect Barack Obama will formally introduce his picks for six top administration posts this morning.
Most notable are his choices to run the State and Defense Departments.
After weeks of discussion, Democratic officials say New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is slated to be Obama's secretary of state while Defense Secretary Robert Gates will stay on at the Pentagon.
Other Cabinet picks include Eric Holder for attorney general, and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano to run the Department of Homeland Security.
Outside the Cabinet, Obama also plans to announce two senior foreign policy positions. Susan Rice, who was a foreign policy adviser during the campaign, is Obama's pick for U.N. ambassador. Retired Marine Gen. James Jones will be put up for national security adviser.
He's expected to make the announcements today in Chicago.

I voted for the guy but it looks like the same old people are going to keep running the same agenda. I doubt we're going to get any change we can believe in. These are the same folks who helped us get where we are. Makes me wonder who is REALLY in charge.
