4. Edwards should be Attorney General |
|
and turn him loose on the corporations. Starting with: 1) Oil companies 2) Media conglomerates 3) The corporate health care industry.

24. Both would go after the same people |
|
But I believe Edwards would be better at the "lawyer" aspects of it.
I'd like to see Dennis in charge of health care reform. He already has a plan which is better than Obama's and far better than Hillary's Romneycare II.
John tears apart EXXON and FAUX. Dennis tears apart corporate hospitals and big pharma.
Everybody wins.

... can deliver to most to the general election.

6. I like Napolitano from AZ (I think). But who knows what might |
|
go into this calculation? I'm not big on Clark, and I know I'm in the minority.

27. Napolitano is an interesting choice for veep |
|
Obama almost has to pick a governor as a running mate. Two senators ain't gonna cut it, especially if McLoony picks a governor (and Romney is a strong possibility for him). A woman governor would end this ridiculous "sexist" crap being thrown out by some of the desperate Hillbots. And a Western governor might help flip some mountain states, though obviously Arizona is McLoon's home territory, so it's not a guaranteed pick up.
Richardson's resume is better, though. And New Mexico possibly easier to win. Hell, McCain might win AZ in a landslide, with people voting for him just to get rid of him :evilgrin:

30. John Kerry for Attorney General |
|
Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 12:23 AM by merh
A special cabinet post to deal with poverty for Edwards.
Kerry should get the chance to pursue the criminals that got away after the last "clean up after a bush", many in baby bush's admin are the same crooks. And Kerry has been supportive of Obama for some time - he has been behind him from the get go.
edited to add: Imagine the investigations into election fraud. :)

19. Didn't Reagan shut down the dept of energy? |
|
I think we really, seriously, need a Department of Energy and Environment. Two sides of the same coin, and Gore would be the one for that.

Dreaming smaller:
President: Barrack Obama Vice President: Patty Murray Secretary of State: Joe Biden Secretary of Defense; Hillary Clinton Secretary of Environment: Al Gore Attorney General: Jon Conyers Press Secretary: Hissyspit*
* (Why change-out NanceGreggs for Hissyspit? Secretary of Education: NanceGreggs ...that's why)

25. Clark is not eligible to be Sec. of Defense until 2010. |
|
By statute the secretary must be a civilian who has not served in the active component of the armed forces for at least 10 years (10 USC Sec. 113). He retired in 2000.

POTUS: Barack Obama VEEP: Kathleen Sebelius or Tim Kaine or Bill Richardson (either is fine by me) SoS: Bob Graham or Joe Biden SoD: Jim Webb (if not VP, let Kaine appoint himself the replacement for his Senate seat since Kaine is term limited in a year anyway)
