4. I'll agree with your choices except for
I want Wesley Clark as Secretary of State. Or, he can be National Security Advisor.

America needs Wes Clark. He worked his ass off for 34 years serving our country. He's worked his ass off in this campaign for Kerry. He deserves a post and America deserves someone as capable as him to start cleaning up the mess that the BFEE has created.

5. Max Cleland.
For which slot exactly, I don't know, but the man is very impressive and I'd like to see him in a strong leadership position, again.

10. my picks
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 10:22 AM by NewJeffCT
Sec of State: Wesley Clark (Tweety supposedly reported that Holbrooke doesn't want state?)

Sec of Defense: Colin Powell

NSA: Holbrooke

CIA: Richard Clarke

NSA: Richard Holbrooke

Homeland Security: Bob Graham

Fed Reserve Chairman when Greenspan's term is up: Bob Rubin

Chair of the DNC: Howard Dean

edited to add: Bill Clinton as US Ambassador to the UN.

13. I Don't Want Anyone Who
seriously criticized Bill Clinton and our last administration. Didn't Reich do that in his book and on t.v.? It is time for us to stop bringing in the Trojan horse.....the Stephanopoluses, etc. The repukes are going to attack us mercilessly once we are back in. I think we need representatives from the full Democratic spectrum in the Cabinet, to debate ideas openly and with freedom, but we don't need people who personally attack our own...et tu Brute
