Who would you pick for your candidates Press Secretary?
If Clark entered the race and won the Presidency I would like to see Al Sharpton as his Press Secretary. I love Al the guy is nothing but pure charisma. Even people who totally disagree with him have to smile when he speaks because he has a way with words.

1. Seriously? Dennis Kucinich
He'd be the first intellectually honest guy to hold the role of Press Secretary. Where better to start this tradition than in the adminsistration of President Dean?

5. interesting but Ive never heard of a career politican getting the job
I am not sure who president Kucinich will choose. Also I think if he doesnt get the nod, a cabinet post would be excellent.

Al Franken, that is. :)

3. A guy who used to hold that job...
For this state's Democratic Headquarters...a guy named Ken Eudy. He's a Southern version of Gary South, so to speak! :D

Like South, he's NEVER afraid to tell it like it is, about ANY Repub, anywhere, any time! Plus he's a terrific strategist--he'd be an asset to any campaign manager. :7

And that's a quality EVERY Dem. candidate could use next year! :kick:

B-)

6. Since the job is mostly ceremonial
and requires only an ability to read whatever bullshit the President thinks up, I would post the job on Monster.com and whoever's "e-resume" looked nicest I would pick.

7. Sure, why not . . . .
It would be nice for Sharpton to have a job. Maybe he could pay for his own suits that way.

9. Kiki McClain
She's fast and razor sharp -- you may have seen her as a pundit over the past few years. She's currently Gore's spokesperson.

19. That was my thought too
Moyers would be great but we need him doing what he's doing even more.

13. Paul Begala..
A press secretary is supposed to be basically an apologist for the President and Begala is great at this. Kucinich and Sharpton would probably end up attacking the Democratic President.

17. I second your motion...
My gut reation was Michael Moore, but he's not very photogenic (!)
Begala would be his best bet by far....
