hopefully Daschle's nomination fails and Obama decides to nominate Howard Dean.

[FLAprogressive]

sorry if that sounds bad. but Howard Dean would be lightyears better than Daschle.

[cobalt1999]

1. I don't think Dean will have a role in this administration

He'll be put out to pasture in some university role as a professor.

2. I agree with you. Howard has first hand knowledge of how the

health care system is not working, and he also has a number of years successfully working with getting public support for things. I was no Daschel fan, even when he was the majority leader. Way too wet noodle for me!

[question everything]

3. Do you really think that the Senators will not approve their own

and would prefer an outsider with a reputation of a loose canon?

[texastoast]

4. Well, I wouldn't put it past the Dems

to once again fuck up.

After all, it was Dean's 50-state strategy that got us where we are now. And the DNC just laid off 200 field organizers I heard. If that is true, once again the Dems are going to demonstrate how good they are at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Loose cannon or genius?

[terisan]

5. Dean is too honest re financial matters. Daschle will be good company for Geithner. nt

Yes I am disgusted with millionaire tax cheats.

[anonymous171]

6. Yeah and hopefully Geithner will die and Paul Krugman will take his place.

:eyes:

[Coexist]

7. lol!

8. Rahm doesn't like Dean

even if Dachle's nomination were to fail i don't think they would replace him with Dean.
