Where can Dean serve in Clark's cabinet?

[TrueAmerican]

Just curious if Dean would accept a cabinet position? I wouldn't put him in as Secretary of State or Defense for obvious reasons. Where is his niche exactly?

[NewJeffCT]

1. I would say

Health & Human Services?

[Kosmos Mariner]

2. I second that...

nt


:dem:

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

3. Surgeon General

Or Secretary of Apopleptic Rage.

[dave29]

4. bwahahah

that was funny :) We could put the Secretary of Apopleptic Rage in charge of the War on Terror

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

5. The war on terror

sounds like more of a job for the Secretary of Blind, Unfocused Rage.

I am accepting applications.

[Hippo_Tron]

7. bad idea...

Then again, I guess it's better than Secretary of monkeys on a typewriter.

[QC]

6. LOL!

:loveya:

[Jerseycoa]

8. Good one

:7

[Myra]

20. Good one! But I vote Surgeon General, for real.

eom

[wndycty]

22. No Health and Human Services. . .

. . .its cabinet level, Surgeon General is not.

[5thGenDemocrat]

9. Health Education and Welfare

I'm a Clarkie (like THAT surprises anyone who's been paying attention), but I was thinking while watching the debate last night what a talented group of individuals we have running for the Presidency. You really could build one hell of a cabinet out of the group.

If Clark doesn't win (I say he will), he'd be a natch for Secretary of State.
ON EDIT: Secretary of Apoplectic Rage -- now, THAT was funny.

10. Not cabinet... Party chairman!

The DNC needs... desperately needs a fighter at the helm.

[batesboys]

16. Absolutely

MacAuliffe has to go...NOW...before the primaries

[webkev]

21. whats wrong with him? (nt)

[Qutzupalotl]

11. He should take over for Terry McAuliffe

who will step down Feb. 4...

Assuming Dean doesn't get the nomination, he'd be great at getting people to donate. He and Trippi.

Really, I hope all the candidates will take an active role in support of the nominee.

CMB for Press Secretary!

[dave29]

13. Trippi should get the DNC

the man has outraised the DNC for a few quarters now.

[hlthe2b]

12. VP, Secretary of Health & Human Serv (HHS), Surg. General

eom

[5thGenDemocrat]

14. HHS, not HEW -- right

God, I really do think Lyndon Johnson's still President. Maybe it's the stupid, pointless foreign war...
John
Or maybe it's that I spent the eighties as a pharmaceutical test sled.

[Don_G]

15. President

Clark can be a gopher.

[Bombtrack]

17. Nowhere

I can see Dean being given a leadership position within the DNC.

But he is not qualified to be seceratary of state or defense

State should be Fareed Zakaria

[mndemocrat_29]

18. I doubt that Dean would serve in the cabinet

My bet is that he'd run for the Senate in 2006 for the Jeffords seat (if he retires).

[Sterling]

19. Might as well ask what I will do with my lotery winnings

This thread is silly.

[deminflorida]

23. After that South Carolina "African Americans for Dean"

sign incident, I say "Minister of Spin"

[mikehiggins]

24. Based on what?

I don't see Dean being asked to serve in a Clark administration, and I don't see him accepting an offer in the first place.

Other than being a doctor, what credentials does he have? Plenty of much better docs around to ask. Governor of Vermont? Plenty of ex governors around from bigger states (well, maybe not Grey Davis) available?

Dean has to be President, or he has to stay home.
