Newsweek is reporting that Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano is not President-elect Barack Obama’s choice to be the next attorney general. Instead, Obama wants to nominate Eric Holder, who once held the No. 2 position in the U.S. Justice Department. Assuming Newsweek is right, that’s not a done deal as Obama’s transitition team is shopping Holder’s name among senators who would have to confirm the nomination.

Attorney General seemed to be the most obvious route for Napolitano to join the Obama administration, given her legal background which included eight years as the U.S. Attorney for Arizona and state attorney general. But Napolitano also has been mentioned as a potential candidate for other Cabinet posts such as Homeland Security and even Education.
