7. As much as it would be nice to reward the other Dem candidates |
|
with cabinet positions, you've got to keep the Dem Senators and Reps in place to avoid turning the Congress over to the repigs (or increasing their margins).
here's my picks (not as extensive as yours):
VP: Wesley Clark
Press Secretary: Bill Moyers
Commerce Secretary: Robert Reich
Defense Secretary: A non-military type...or Kucinch (Ha!)...or bring back Cohen
Attorney General: Eliot Spitzer
Secretary of State: Bill Clinton
Treasury Secretary: George Soros

VP: Wesley Clark Secretary of State: Bill Clinton Commerce: Paul Krugman Attorney General: the guy from New York (Spitzer?)
some place for Carol Moseley Braun & Bob Graham...
I'd try to raid as few sitting senators as possible - so, no Hillary Clinton or Dianne Feinstein.
Not sure who my first Supreme Court nominee would be, though.

10. Nice list, Here's mine for Kerry |
|
but, taking all the strong liberals from Congress won't help your administration very much.
The best idea here so far is Bill Clinton for Secretary of State. Brilliant. He probably wouldn't take it. :(
Most cabinet positions get filled by people who were Undersecretaries in previous administrations, people who were beat in previous elections (Cleland comes to mind.), Secretary repeats like Minetta and Rumsfeld, and Governors like Ridge, Thompson etc.
VP: Al Sharpton Defense Secretary: Gen. Wes Clark Attorney General: John Edwards Secretary of State: Max Cleland
