Wolfson, other top Dems in mix for spokesperson roles

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1208/16784.html

Some of Washington's best-known Democratic operatives — including Jenny Backus, Jennifer Palmieri and Howard Wolfson — are being considered for top communications roles that would make them the public faces of the Obama administration outside the White House, Democratic officials said.

Although no final decisions have been made, Backus may be President-elect Barack Obama's top spokesperson on health issues, Palmieri is in the early stages of consideration for a role at the Pentagon, and Wolfson is being considered — along with Doug Hattaway — for the delicate podium job at the State Department.

Plans are still being finalized, and nothing is final, the officials said. But here is some of the latest thinking from the Obama team about selections for top communicators in key departments:
