White House Hotties: The Women

It's a tough job, but somebody had to do it. We sifted through your many nominations in our White House Hotties contest , winnowing the entries down to eight contenders on the women's side. (The male hotties will square off in a separate poll.)
The female finalists, with photos, appear below. Additional information about the contestants, including job titles and testimonials, will follow. If you know any of these gorgeous gals and would like to chime in, please feel free to email us (subject line: White House Hotties). We may quote from your testimonial -- but we'll keep you anonymous, unless you state otherwise.
Let the games begin!
Update: Here are the male finalists .
Update: We're advised that Dina Powell and Kristen Slaughter no longer work in the White House. We regret the error. But we'll leave them in the competition, 'coz it's kinda too late to remove them now...
