Why PRESIDENT KERRY must include Dean/Clark/others in his
administration.

Simply put, both men (and a few others like envrionmentalist Robert Kennedy) have real followings that have stuck with them through thick and thin. If PRESIDENT KERRY is going to rebuild America, instead of just resume pre-2000 style "politics as usual" he is going to need those motivated conglomerations of activists to do it.

There is a natural tendency, once a great victory is won, for the people to figure everything is taken care of, and that it's now okay to get back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Oh, fools, we, to beleive such to be possible. (waxing a little poetic there)

Tomorrow is only day one of a long, painful, costly revitalization of this nation and its Constitutional rights and its going to take more than a few rich patrons and an army of lobbyists to do the job.

Its going to take people, lots and lots of people, and if he is serious about getting things done, Kerry has to do whatever it takes to motivate them to back his moves. Putting Dean and Clark and Kennedy on the team will do a lot to make that happen.

1. let's win the election
before we start in-fighting over cabinet appointments. He could put the Mafia in charge and things would be less corrupt than they are now.

2. you are right
A Kerry win is only the first step. Kerry will need a complex strategy to repair all the damage that has been done on many levels. He will also need to put a stake in the heart of the neocons.
It will take a village. He will need the help, support and guidance
from many quarters. He will also have to tap some of his colleagues
from the other side. He knows who they are, they are ready to help him. They know that is the only way to save the party and the country.
