Movers and Shakers in the Progressive World

[marked50]

This is obviously a listing of some personal prefrences but I thought it would be interesting to put this out there for DUer's to critique. The wife and I have listed those we would like to see in some positions of strong influence in our Political and Media World beyond their current positions of influence. For example: Elliot Spitzer as Attorney General. We haven't attempted any other positional slotting. These came to us in no particular order and represent those with integrity, morality, concern, and thoughtfulness of their positions.

Eliot Spitzer
Elizabeth Warren
Alan Grayson
Robert Reich
Paul Krugman
Ravi Batra
Bernie Sanders
Naomi Klein
Chris Hedges
Bill Moyers
Amy Goodman
Glen Greenwald
Sy Hersh
Greg Palast
Barbara Ehrenreich
Rev Al Sharpton
Wendell Potter
Ed Schultz
Matt Damon
Howard Dean
George Clooney
Jimmy Carter
Thom Hartmann
Jim Hightower

This was our first pass listing. The ones that you list and the ones other suggested would be included but maybe we just can't list them all?
