1. interesting

A Dean/Clark ticket is nice, but look at how many senate seats are now in limbo in that cabinet!

Yet since we're dreaming, how about if we add...

Kucinich for OH Senator
Snowe for Democratic senator from Maine
Nadler for NY Governor.

You may say I'm a dreamer...but I'm not the only one. :)

10. Hi BurnInHellFoxNews!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[MissMillie]

17. Welcome!

Glad to have you with us!

[gully]

2. We gotta let Dennis K run the EPA.

Nice thoughts... And Sharpton must be some kind of diplomat ;)

[salin]

3. Dennis should have a joint appointment

EPA and FTC (trade commission) - if we could clone him we could put him charge of several regulatory bodies.

Sharpton - head of the Civil Rights Commission (wasn't that Thomas's stepping stone?)

Graham - head of the CIA

[tsipple]

4. My Choices for a Dean Administration

President - Howard Dean
Vice President - Wesley Clark, Bob Graham, or Mary Landrieu
Secretary of Labor - Richard Gephardt
Secretary of Defense - Max Cleland or Wesley Clark
Veterans Affairs - Max Cleland or Bob Kerry
Secretary of State - Al Gore
Secretary of Transportation - Michael Dukakis
Secretary of HHS - Carol Moseley Braun
CIA Director - Olympia Snowe (Senator, Maine)
Secretary of Energy - Gray Davis
Secretary of Treasury - Laura D'Andrea Tyson
Homeland Security - Tom Ridge until disbanded
Attorney General - John Edwards
EPA - Christie Todd Whitman
High Speed Rail (Special Advisor) - Dennis Kucinich
U.S. Trade Representative - Mike McCurry
Commerce - Vernon Jordan
HUD - Rosalyn Carter
Press Secretary - Nancy Skinner
Chief of Staff - Joe Trippi or Steve Grossman
Interior - Ben "Nighthorse" Campbell
Education - Lawrence Summers (currently President of Harvard)

[BigBigBigBear]

5. Very extensive

Some good choices there, indeed.

But, um....

Interior - Ben "Nighthorse" Campbell

...you must not live in Colorado. He'd turn over the BLM to ranchers. I'd fight like hell over that one, sorry.

Bill Richardson, David Skaggs, Dick Lamm....anybody but Campbell.

[tsipple]

14. Wanted Him Out of the Senate

That one slipped past my thorough analysis, though. You're quite right he's not a good policy fit for Interior. The politics overwhelmed me. :-)

[fob]

6. Press Secretary HAS to go to Sharpton

nt

[hippiechick]

7. Christie Todd Whitman ?

:wtf:

[tsipple]

13. Allow Me to Explain That One

Christie Todd Whitman is one of the few GOPers to resign from the Bush Administration. To confirm it was a resignation in disgust, and to have a cabinet that "looks like America" (i.e. some Republicans), Whitman should come back to EPA and undo the damage.

It'd be good politics and policy.

[tsipple]

15. Some Alternates and More...

Some more candidates (in addition to those named above)...

Secretary of State - Bill Clinton, Richard Holbrooke
"American BBC" (Special Advisor) - Mike McCurry, Joe Lockhart, Newton Minnow, Ted Turner
U.N. Ambassador - Richard Holbrooke, Al Gore
Solicitor General - David Boies (if he drops the SCO case)
Interior - Christopher Dodd, Ann Richards, Max Baucus, Stephanie Herseth (if she doesn't win in 2004, which I think she will)
Education - Melinda Gates, Louis Gerstner
FEC - Madeline Kunin
National Security Advisor - Richard Holbrooke, Al Gore

[Terran]

16. Rosalyn Carter for HUD?

I'm sure she's a nice lady, but does she have any experience that would enable her to run that enormous agency?

And Christie Todd Whitman for EPA?? Uh, surely we could do better than anyone Bush himself chose.

[tsipple]

19. Three Words: Habitat for Humanity

Rosalyn Carter would be a dynamite HUD Secretary.

[newsguyatl]

8. i like it

with these adjustments:

gore - secretary of state
edwards - attorney general

[BigBigBigBear]

9. Actually

Secretary of State - Gary Hart

Gore'd never take it. If Dean wins, smart says he runs for TN Governor. If the Dems lose, he's back in '08.

[ibegurpard]

11. I'm with you on President.

:D
Also, I agree with your "position" for Lieberman.

[Nixons Bastard Son]

12. B. Clinton for Secretary of State

I've always thought this'd be a good idea.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

18. Why empty the Senate of Democrats?

Kerry, Clinton, and Lieberman should stay in the Senate.

[tsipple]

20. Few Senate Democrats on My List

I don't have very many Senate Democrats on my list. I don't have any of those three on my list, actually.

[Demobrat]

21. Kucinich in charge of HUD

*

[HFishbine]

22. Edwards

for attorney general and Gore for Supreme Court.
