Who Would You like to see in Dean's Cabinet???

I'm with Dean/Edwards right now for Prez/VP

I think we have a great democratic team

Kucinich for Secretary of DHHS.

Sharpton for Civil Rights Commission.

Braun for Secretary of Commerce.

Gephardt - Secretary of Labor.

Gore - Secretary of State

Defense Secretary - Sam Nunn

Homeland Security - George Mitchell (until he goes to the Supreme Court)

Edited to delete inflammation


ENVIRONMENT?? Ralph Nader?

Suggestions for the cabinet?

:)

I think he has been good but not always great.

But is he a DEM???


If so, I would second that emotion for now as a start of candidates.

We need a DEAN DREAN TEAM that the American People can get behind!!!

And Dean should start talking about it NOW!!!

More candidates for positions folks???

:)

I don't think Gephardt would take the Dept of Labor spot. I think that he would feel it was kind of below him, which it probably is.

proceedings.

If Dean promised him that spot he would be AWESOME and it would make him a better candidate for Pres or VP down the road.

I actually think Gephardt would make a better VP probably than Edwards but he is a lousy candidate right now

role in the upcoming democratic administration. How bout Clark for Chairman, Joint Chiefs?

I would prefer to keep republicans OUT of a Dean cabinet. Especially Clark. That is my opinion

you can't hold that position, and the position of Commander-in-chief at the same time.

But you forgot Attorney General.. And I think it would poetic justice to have Ralph Nader as AT.

Maybe RFK JR at Environment or AG

Mitchell would be a good AG too

Better rethink that one I'm afraid.

Gary Hart for Homeland Security? Or Rudman, if we want to be bipartisan?

I dont know much about Terkel honest. I would like a union leader, DK, Gephardt get that job on labor. Terkel has known DK since he was the boy mayor. He wrote a real good article that I cant get my hands on though.

Do you know the name of it? (Though I can probably find out easily enough.)

John, did you see the speech that DK gave Friday at the DNC meeting? It was in-f'ing-credible! Wow! (I guess you're used to that though.) All the candidates gave great speeches, though, even Lieberman. Made me proud to be a Democrat. :)

He's greatly admired in other countries, no one could argue that he wasn't qualified, and the mass heart attacks it would cause on the right would be helpful as well!

To HELL with that! :nuke: F*CK RALPH NADER!

on edit: Make that "F*CK NADER AND THE HORSE HE RODE OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ON!" :grr:

We really need to get someone serious in that position. He would be qualified. It is important that he is a lawyer also.

It's OK to put the NARCISSISTIC TRAITOR WHO COST GORE THE ELECTION in the Cabinet? :wtf: HELL no!

... he bought 30 minutes of prime-time week night air time on all 5 major networks and IMPLORED (in no uncertain terms) his fellow Greens to vote Democrat in 2004 using these specific words: "Our very existence as a self-governing republic depends upon each of you voting for (fill in Democrat nominee)." He would also take out a full-page ad to be run at least 3 times before election day in every daily newspaper with a circulation of over 50K subscribers (plus USA Today), urging the same AND he would mail letters to every known Greenie in the US, same song and dance.

He should be required to throw his weight behind a Democrat, but that might require some political dealing ahead of time, such as "you help rally Green support for me (DEAN), and I'll offer you this environmental spot."

Many people voted for him, because they were not satisified with Gore, athough he was OK. I voted for Nader partly because I knew Gore would win easily in VT and wanted to make a vote of conscience, not just another vote for a status quo candidate. Nader got 7% in VT, and I believe only 2% in Florida. That 2% in Florida cost Gore the election.

Nader had his chance and now he should take a back seat and maybe accept a cabinet position, if offered. Environment is what he is best at and keeps him out the direct line of fire.

Maybe 4 years of Bush has it's silver lining in that we can now expose alot of what is wrong with this country. The whole world is helping us to open our eyes. And change for me does not mean going from Bush to Bush lite or Bush with a Democrat label, but someone like Dean, who stands for real change.

He cost Gore the election by causing him to lose 3 states, any one of which would have rendered FL irrelevant! VT, as you pint out, is just one of the 3.

Gore that is.

I just woke up...Doesn't pay to get this pissed off str8 out of bed. :P

Either state would have put Gore in the White House and Gore lost both by a margin of difference less than the Nader vote.

Well if you dont wanna be pissed off then I repeat do NOT go in to that thread about that statue that looks like a penis in Topeka. If you PM me I will tell you why.

If it was a closer contest, I would have voted for Gore. Many people did this, for that reason. My own sister in Massachusetts. Many people were expressing a vote of conscience for real change. Now, we will get that chance with Dean, who also happens to be very electable.

The fuckwad who made share that gays didn't get full access to the military? Hell fucking no! Wesley Clark instead.

Braun for Attoney General

Kucinich - Secretary of State

Defense Secretary - Clark

the doctor is OUT.

Clark in 2004.

For the kitchen cabinet, Mrs. Dash.

(edited title)

But if Edwards doesn't land the VP spot, then he'd be a great Attorney General.

Start Gore at the State Department, but he goes when it comes time to nominate him to the Supreme Court.
