Let's assemble the next cabinet

[CatWoman]

Who would you like to be on it, and why.

The first selection should go to Al Gore, and he's qualified to hold any number of posts.

[goobergunch]

1. The question is, Does the Senate advise and consent to the nomination of

Al Gore, of Tennessee, to be Secretary of State?

[beanball]

2. sec. of state

The Big Dawg

[ronzo]

4. Yeah, you right...

but, cart/horse.

[goobergunch]

5. No

The Dems need to get over our Clinton obsession.

11. Better for UN Ambassador

Less of a lightning rod than at state. BTW, is the post of UN Amb approved by the senate?

[grasswire]

3. I've got a couple of picks

Ambassador Joe Wilson for State and Dick Gephardt for Labor.

[goobergunch]

6. Gephardt for Labor...nice! (n/t)

[Donna Zen]

13. State

State: Richard Holbrooke

Homeland Security: Gary Hart

Love Gephardt for Labor

We need some women!!!!

[elfin]

7. Al Gore -

either NSA or Homeland Sec or Environment etc. etc.

Gephardt - Labor

Dean (if not Pres) - HHS

Holbrooke - Sec. St

Clark (if not Pres) - Sec Defense

Richardson (if not VP) - any of the Gore possibles + Interior

Graham - if not VP - Homeland if available after the above appointments

Edwards if not VP - EPA to go after poisoning corps like a tria lawyer

Education - ????

10. Education - James Jeffords

n/t

[AntiCoup2K4]

8. Wes Clark - secretary of defense

Assuming he's not Prez or VP, of course.

[seasat]

9. I'd like Carol Browner back as EPA chief.

Browner was the best director in the history of this country. We'd need someone like her to get the agency turned around after the Shrub administration.

If Clark doesn't get President or VP, he'd be my first choice for Defense.

Though it's not a cabinet position, how about Al Franken for press secretary. ;)

I'd also like Paul Krugman for Treasury or SEC chair.

[wuushew]

12. Max Cleland for Veterans Affairs

n/t

[CatWoman]

17. now that is an

excellent choice :thumbsup:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. Not cabinet but Elliot Spitzer for Atty General

[Avatar13]

15. Spitzer would be a great AG, but

it would better serve the interests of the party if he runs for NY Governor first. As great as he is, and as much as he is needed to portray the image that the new Democratic administration is serious about coming down hard on corporate fraud, there are others who can do the job adequately. How about Henry Waxman? John Conyers? Russ Feingold? David Boies?

[grasswire]

16. how about....

.....Richard Ben Veniste for AG? Watergate, impeachment, etc.

Or maybe Mario Cuomo?

Oh wait. How about Vince Bugliosi?
