Schwarzenegger to the Obama Cabinet?

Sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger would if he could:

Is Arnold Schwarzenegger angling for a job in the Obama administration?

In an interview with editors at the Los Angeles Times, the outgoing California governor said he was in "no rush" to find a new job when his term ends next month. But asked specifically whether he'd consider a post working for President Obama, he said yes and began to "riff on his credentials," according to the Times' David Lauter.

Schwarzenegger, who counts legislation combating global warming as one of his signature achievements in office, suggested he might be interested in a post dealing with energy or the environment.

I wouldn't have much of a problem with Schwarzenegger joining the Obama cabinet. True, George W. Bush couldn't find much room for Democrats on his cabinet, and President Obama already has spots for Republicans within his administration. That said, there is a significant portion of the population that self-identifies as Republican but nonetheless is open to supporting the President. Inasmuch as he is able to court their vote through symbolic measures such as cabinet appointments, in addition to policy initiatives that have resonance to the middle, I say go for it, even if it foregoes the possibility that the President could bolster the credentials of an up-and-coming Democrat by appointing them to the spot.
