The Dream Team for 2008 - Let me wake up to this REALITY!!!!!

[BigBearJohn]

Don't want this to get buried (original idea by the brilliant Catamount, with one small change for Conyers as Speaker of the House).
I am going to visual this combo everyday, while singing "a dream is wish your heart makes"

John Kerry/Barbara Boxer 2008
John Edwards - Attorney General
John Conyers - SPEAKER of the House
Secretary of State – Hillary Clinton

[MeDeMax]

1. I'll drink to that, you are a genius

holy cow, makes perfect sense.

[yurbud]

2. Boxer/Edwards

Elliot Spitzer AG
Gary Hart Sec Def
Bill Clinton Sec State
GW Bush Sec Club Fed AA

[mirandapriestly]

3. But those people are actually qualified

aren't they supposed to be incompetent and dishonest?

[Coastie for Truth]

4. I like Eliot Spitzer for AG

He gets a thrill going after the Big Guys.

[corbett]

32. He'd Be Exemplary As AG

Let's see whether he makes a good run for Governor of New York.

[Blue_In_AK]

5. These are all wonderful suggestions.

I'll visualize it, too.

[ArtVandaley]

6. Highly disagree

My list:
Feingold/Richardson 2008
Attorney General: John Conyers
Secretary of State: Richard Holbrooke
Secretary of Defense: Wes Clark

Edwards and Hillary are wastes of spaces. Kerry had his shot, didn't happen. Like the guy, but his time has passed.

[New Earth]

8. Feingold/Richardson?

are you out of your mind?

oh no wait that's just your opinion. i'm learning here :crazy: :silly:

[ArtVandaley]

9. What's wrong with that ticket?

In your opinion

[New Earth]

10. well

i def. don't like Richardson, not after the bullshit with this election, him being so against allowing the recounts, wanting the machines to be cleared, etc.
wtf is he hiding? :shrug:

[Catamount]

49. So true! n/t

[Adelante]

12. Wes Clark

will still be two years short for SoD -- he has to have been retired from the military for ten years.

[Karenca]

16. Feingold and Richardson.?...THE traitors to the Democrats??

have you NOT been keeping up??

[ArtVandaley]

19. Hahaha

nt

[PennyK]

46. What does...

an architect, deep sea diver, and porn actor know about such stuff?

[New Earth]

7. close....

this would be mine so far:

John Kerry/Barbara Boxer 2008
John Conyers - Attorney General
Secretary of State (OR Defense) - Wesley Clark

NO NO NO HILARY. Hilary can stay right the hell where she is.

[Clark2008]

13. Clark cannot be secretary of defense

He STILL will not have been retired from the military 10 years by 2008.

[WildEyedLiberal]

14. Yes, Clark would be a great Sec of State.

John Kerry/ Barbara Boxer - Pres/VP
Wes Clark - Sec. of State
Anthony Zinni ? - Sec. of Defense (or NSA)
John Edwards or Eliot Spitzer - AG
RFK Jr. - Sec. of Interior/ head of EPA
Dick Gephardt - Sec. of Labor
Howard Dean - Sec. of HHS (unless he's DNC chair)
Sec. of Homeland Security - I don't know, I would've said John O'Neill (the counterterroism agent, NOT the SBVT swine), but RIP :cry:

[troubleinwinter]

18. Yes for the Zinni addition

[Withywindle]

21. This is pretty close to my dream ticket, except...

How about Al Gore for Interior or EPA?

[WildEyedLiberal]

25. RFK Jr. has devoted his life to environmental causes

But, whichever one he's not, Gore can be the other.

How about Gore - Sec. of Interior, and RFK Jr. - EPA head?

[Withywindle]

27. Sounds good to me!

That was in no way a slam on RFK Jr.--I just feel Gore has so much experience and knowledge and passion about the environment and science, I want to put him to work!

[corbett]

36. He's No Politician But Eminently Qualified Otherwise

He's about as green as they come. He would be perfect counter programming to the way things have been since 2001.

[imenja]

37. So why is Kerry acceptable and not Hillary?

?

[bush_is_wacko]

45. I think NY might be sad to lose her anyway. She is much liked there!

but I don't think she'd do a bad job at several administrative positions.

[Clark2008]

11. Nope.

Won't win.

[New Earth]

15. since you are psychic,

can you help me out? will i get this job tomorrow?

:D j/k

[troubleinwinter]

22. Good thoughts for ya on that, Faye!

I admired your energy going for the interview just arriving home from your trip!

:crazy:

[Horse with no Name]

17. You guys need to get on board with Doggett

The guy is impeccable.

[Karenca]

20. my dream team....

John Kerry/Barbara Boxer 2008
John Edwards - Attorney General
John Conyers - SPEAKER of the House
Secretary of State – Wes Clarke

:toast:

[New Earth]

23. i like yours

that all sounds good to me.

[imenja]

29. I prefer Clark for Secretary of Defense

Holbrook has far more experience and the kind of knowledge of foreign policy required for a Secretary of State.

[Adelante]

31. Can't be Clark for SoD

He won't be retired ten years until 2010.

[imenja]

33. ah, not familiar with that rule

Thanks for the info. How about McCain for Defense?

[marions ghost]

30. I like this lineup also

Don't think this country is ready to elect a woman president right after B* and with the current militaristic slant of the country. If we could just get Barbara in as VP that would be good.

Gore in Interior or EPA, good. Hillary is probably most effective in the Senate. Obama still needs more time, but his time will come.

Kerry's actions in the next months will tell if he could run again. But it seems he still has a lot of supporters so it's not out of the question by any means.

This is assuming we have the emergency repairs done to the election system by then.

[sepia_steel]

38. Manomanomanomanomanomanoman

I would love to see this happen.

Please please please.

[New Earth]

39. i haven't talked to you since i've been back

can you get on AIM? :hi:

[imenja]

24. problems with your choices

Speaker of the House is chosen by members of the House themselves. Pelosi is now the leader. Seniority is a big party of the story. How long has Conyers been in office? I'd leave it for House members to choose their leader. There is more than political ideology to consider. Personal effectiveness is also important, and we have no insight into that. I appreciate Conyers activities on the 2004 election, but he strikes me a surly man. That was my impression based on his treatment of witnesses during the hearings he presided over. That makes me think he might not be the best Speaker.

Hillary is not the right choice for Secretary of State. Someone with more foreign policy experience would be better. Richard Holbrook or Joe Biden (let's put aside his placating of Gonzalez right now) know far more about policy.

I don't want Kerry on the ticket. Why should Boxer take second place to him? A Boxer-Ford ticket would be better, or Boxer-Richardson. We need some geographical balance on the ticket. Or a Boxer-Conyers ticket. California and the NE are roughly the same geographically because of their political leanings. Of the three I prefer Boxer-Ford. It offers ideological as well as cultural and geographical balance. Boxer-Obama would be worth considering as well.


Spitzer would be great as AG, only I want him for president some day. Remaining governor of NY for a couple of terms would probably help him more in that regard. Attorney General is a lightening rod for criticism.

[Karenca]

26. i'm disagreeing.....

<<<<"I don't want Kerry on the ticket.">>>

I want Kerry on the ticket, because when all is said and done, John Kerry IS the RIGHTFUL PRSIDENT of the United States.

[imenja]

28. not in 2008

your rightful president's term expires in four years.

[Adelante]

34. Got that one

:7

[Karenca]

35. well, then, my rightful president

will be the incumbent.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

40. Change Kerry to Clark, Boxer to Hillary and Jesse Jackson for

Secretary of State and I'd be on board. Sorry to disagree but as much as I love Boxer, she would hurt the ticket, unfortunately.

[Imagevision]

41. It won't matter - Diebold will still be in place right along with Jeb.

[zann725]

48. I don't agree. Diebold and W are both going to be replaced BEFORE

this Term is up...due to Election Fraud litigation. I don't know how, I just know that Bush/Cheney are going to be RICO'd out; and Kerry will be in long before '08. In which case, '08 will be Kerry's Second Term. Jeb is going nowhere, but to other Tornado sights to hand out "turkeys!"

[Imagevision]

42. Why would anyone have any doubt that 2008 will be instant replay?

[Imagevision]

43. This is cute...so you think the "NEXT" election will be honest?!?!?...

[Catamount]

44. Thanks for the Accolades BigBearJohn

Keep up the good work!

[shadowknows69]

47. i like what you've done there.

think Hil will settle for mere SOS though?
