Possible plan to unite the factions in the party.... |
|
I've been thinking that if I could graft certain characteristics from each candidate and conglomerate them, we just might have a "sure-fire" candidate - Kucinich's economic policy and election reform leadership, Dean's fire, Edwards' political military policy, Clark's military experience.....
You see how this works.
So the thought keeps coming to me "Why cannot s/he who gets the exec chair put in place the other candidates as cabinet?" Get the candidates together, get them to be brutally honest about their strengths and present a "group platform" instead of this fragmentation. (Aren't we supposed to be the grown up, mature, able to work together party?)
Would this be a violation of election law?
Or is it just turf warring?
And who would you put where if you were in control?

1. This may only work for vice president, but not for other jobs. |

People who run for president are "vision" people. Also, by necessity, people who run for president have to have a larger than average sized egos. Once the president is in place, he or she needs good team members and implementers and that's a whole other set of people. For example, Sharpton might be a good leader, but can you see him assigned to work on a program he disagrees with?
The executive branch has to be run executive-style. However, we do already have a rule-by-committee branch of government: Congress.

The real progressives can start their own party, or join a real progressive party.
