I had this dream about 2008...
Before the primaries began, the major Democratic candidates and key public servants, got together and decided to run as a team. After electing Barack Obama to the White House with Hillary Clinton as his VP, the others agreed to step into the following Cabinet positions:

Bill Clinton: State

Wes Clark: Defense

John Edwards: Labor

Bill Richardson: Health and Human Services

Al Gore: Interior

Dennis Kucinich: Agriculture

Chris Dodd: Commerce

Joe Biden: Homeland Security

Mike Gravel: Treasury

Patrick Fitzgerald: Justice

It was just a dream.

3. A good dream.
Very much unlike the nightmare of today.

I think your dream makes me realize that we're going to do well. Lots of combinations and options.

8. The candidates do represent hope but, beyond that, I wonder what might happen, if this scenario...
...or something similar, were presented to the voting public. All of them could spread out and campaign as a team, with the stated goal of giving America back to the people.

11. I like Kusnich as AG
We need an AG with a proven record of fig hing for justice and fairness and Dennis has that in spades.
my second pick for AG would be Ralph Nadar, but I like the guy and he wold not live to see his first year of service.

Thanks, but no thanks. What's Jim "Whole Hog" Hightower doing these days?

12. I'd rather see Kucinish in
HHS in charge of the new single payer heath care plan. Richardson can go to the UN.

14. I had this nightmare about Lady Liberty
The torch of freedom was no longer held high. Instead, she was pointing at me
asking, "Did YOUR vote count?" very much a la "Uncle Sam Needs YOU."

I awoke.
