If Mark Penn is running the campaign, who's going to be in the cabinet?

Even if you're not worried about Mark Penn, or Hillary Clinton's allies, it's a topic we should be discussing more often.

What kind of advisors will each candidate bring to the table?

4. All sorts of savory characters, I'm sure. Remember, they love Poppy Bush.

They thought he'd go out and trash their son to repair our image in the world. Until Poppy smacked them down.

6. No HRC fan here, no indeed, but I will say this: BC had a pretty awesome Cabinet.

Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 05:30 PM by blondeatlast

Robert Reich-Labor
Bentsen and others--Treasury
Interior--Bruce Babbitt
State-Madeline Albright, others
Energy--Bill Richardson, others. etc.

I dont know that HRC will do the same, but I would never call Robert Reich pro-corporate. :shrug:

Edit: Oops, forgot the linky:

7. Good argument. I don't doubt that Hillary Clinton would bring some impressive voices to the table.

I'll do some research, and hopefully find out more about the people the candidates have historically brought along with them along their careers.
