Kerry or Richardson for Secretary of State?

[Bicoastal]

Both great choices, IMO.

1. Nice.

[BlueManDude]

2. JFK will be great choice.

3. Thanks for the opportunity to make my bi-monthly case against Bill Richardson

He thought it would be a great idea to pipe Great Lakes' water down to the American Southwest. A terrible idea in its own right, but a really quick way to alienate Canada, who has some stake in the Great Lakes, too.

[Bicoastal]

4. That's it?

It IS a terrible idea, but everyone's said some dumb things in their lifetime--including Kerry and even Obama.

5. Perhaps you are not from a Great Lakes state

it would be an environmental catastrophe. The Great Lakes ecosystem is huge, fragile, and unique. To me, this shows a Palinesque lack of knowledge on the subject (well, okay, that's an exaggeration, but still, he should be better informed). I don't consider it a minor point.

23. SoS position will deal HEAVILY with global water/fishery issues into the next decade.

Water wars will dwarf the oil wars soon - and our nation will need someone who is highly informed in many areas.

6. He also allowed the New Mexico ballots to be destroyed.

8. After that,

he led the charge here in election reform. Adopting a universal paper ballot voting system for all counties in the state.

[roody]

9. So is he redeemed?

[wisteria]

7. I can think of no one better suited for this post. He could help Obama

define and reshape our foreign policy. Great choice in my opinion.

[MadBadger]

10. I saw this poll earlier in the day, and Kerry was getting pwned

[Arkansas Granny]

11. It's time for me to go to bed. At first glance I thought your subject line read

Keith Richards for Secretary of State. :silly:

[BuyingThyme]

12. I think they're both CIA, but I'm going with Richardson.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

13. Wesley Clark, Bill Clinton - if he'd do it.

n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

14. Richardson

And Kerry for Attorney General.

[alfredo]

15. Kerry said he is happy in the Senate. He just got reelected.

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. I misread that as "Keith Richardson" :^P

[cliffordu]

22. I 'm down with Keith Richards, fo sho!!

[Agent William]

17. I'm actually quite torn... In the end Kerry prevails

I like both. I want to put Kerry in the white house (albeit as a cabinet member). Also Kerry is well know/respected figure. Plus I want to reward Kerry for having the balls to stand up to Bush in 2004, while many democrats tried to play nice.

18. How about new blood?

[Jennicut]

19. Kerry without a doubt. The man made his mark on foreign policy for me

during the debates with Snrub in 2004. He was so knowlegable on what we were facing at that time and it became the doctrine of the Dem party by 2008. I really like him and hope he gets picked!

[Mz Pip]

20. Wes Clark

would be my first choice.

[WildEyedLiberal]

21. Kerry

Smart, knowledgeable, principled, liberal - he's my choice.

[paulk]

24. I would prefer Kerry

but after the way the Latino vote turned out for him, Obama will need to put a high profile Latino on his cabinet. Richardson is an obvious choice.

I wonder if the news reports of Kerry wanting the job are true? Teddy is not going to be around forever, and Kerry is poised to become the new "liberal lion" of the Senate.

hmmm...
