You know, we could make a good cabinet
Out of the current field of Dem candidates, no matter who wins. Let's assume a Kerry victory:

Dean - HHS
Kucinich - Education
Clark - State or Defense (are there rules about ex-uniformed military running DoD?)
Gepherdt - Labor
Mosley-Braun - State or UN Ambassador
Edwards - Atty General.

Nothing really jumped out at me for Sharpton or Lieberman.

I apologize for any misspellings.

Your thoughts?

2. Sounds like some good choices; I would prefer to see Spitzer as AG
and let's put Kucinich in charge of dismantling the DEA.

8. One step better.
Have them all agree to it now. Then stay on message that we need to get Bush out in November. Keep it a secret until the convention....that way the RNC smear machine is nuetralized. Save the cash and announce then.

Of course it wouldn't work, but I'd really like to see them all get high profile positions in the next Democratic administration.....we are going to need to be on a 4 year offensive fumigating and repair the Republican damage caused by this unelected administration.

9. Sharpton needs to be Secretary of State and Dennis should be
Edited on Thu Jan-22-04 02:14 AM by genius
Commerce, Labor or HHS. Dean would give the money to doctors. Kucinich, then Edwards, then Kerry have the best labor ratings. Edwards would be good for Attorney General and Clark might be good for defense if he changes his positon on DU. Also where does he stand on the School of the Americas.

Actually, it would be great if we could clone Dennis and Sharpton and fill the whole cabinet with them.
