A Cabinet Post for Al Gore, please

Interior or EPA, at least.

And Kerry should have him by his side at the inauguration, and shake his hand first thing after he says "So Help Me God."

1. I hate to say this, but a cabinet post is beneath Gore.
Elder Statesman is a much more powerful role.......Gore's stature will grow over time, just like Jimmy Carter's.

5. I thought of that but

I think he would embrace an activist EPA job, and that Kerry would treat him as a major member of his inner circle.

2. Appoint Gore to replace Rehnquist
Edited on Tue Nov-02-04 12:25 AM by Tamyrlin79
If he can't be president, he can damn well be Chief Justice.

Taft went from president to USSC... Gore can surely make the jump from VP to USSC...

6. by his side at the inauguration?
of course...the current prez always is at the innaugeration of the soon to be sworn in prez on Jan. 20. He has to be there to hand over power to Kerry.
