5. Too bad Edwards is retiring from the Senate...
So, he can't be majority leader.

6. How about Attorney General Vincent Bugliosi?
Bugliosi seems to have a pretty good sense of justice, and a wealth of respect.

others (dream on, Minstrel Boy...):

VP: Carol Mosely Braun
Secretary of State: Katrina vanden Heuvel
Secretary of Defense: Dennis Kucinich
NSA: Max Cleland

Scrap Homeland Security. Institute a Department of Truth and Reconciliation, and appoint Cynthia McKinney.

10. I don't think Clark can be considered for SecDef because of
separation time limits.....he'd be my 1st choice if he could be considered.

15. Clark can't be Sec. Def...you have to be out of active duty 10 years.
But I agree with you that there should be a Dept of Peace. It is Kucinich's BEST idea, and it is a gem.

17. I'm not sure.
There aren't really any that stand out for me. Maybe Ann Richards?

I know who I don't want, though. No Gray Davis, thank you. Even though I voted for him in the latest California circus, I was very unhappy with him as the leader of my state.
