7. She's a fraud IMO
I'll never get over her voting with repukes to overturn Clinton's veto of the Securities Litigation Reform Act.

2. Either Clark or Edwards
Whichever doesn't become the running mate (as I hope is the case)

3. Clark - Sec. of State

21. I swear to God I totally forgot.
I know he was super-popular here, but he never made much of an imprression on me. I would have put his name if I had remembered. Sorry.

5. people should explain why they think a certain person most "deserves"
a cabinet post. for example i would be interested in knowing why someone thinks kucinich "deserved" a spot more than clark did. i'm guessing some people are voting based on who they want or wish would get a cabinet spot. but when you add in the "deserve" part i think clark is probably at the top.

9. Exactly
People are voting their wishes, not practicality or by qualifications.

13. Definitely Clark...
He would carry a lot of weight as Secretary of State if he isn't chosen as Kerry's running mate. Europeans seem to love him. Plus, he got screwed big time as SACEUR. It's time to make up for that.

15. Joe Lieberman would make a great attorney-general.
There ought to be a place in the cabinet for a man of Joe's capabilities and integrity.

19. Dick Gephardt would probably make the best Labor Secretary EVER.
So, I'd say he is the most deserving of a SPECIFIC post.

22. All of the above
They are all deserving and have served the party faithfully for many many years. Every single one of them and Carol Mosely Braun and Rev Sharpton as well.

23. One catagory missing
'All of the above'
