Who Should be Secretary of State ? Your Opinions

[politicallore]

I posted an article on Politicallore.com to ask for who people thought Obama should nominate for Secretary of State, I have to imagine they are trying to pick the absolute best candidate for the job... But this still gives us some fun in having our own "input".

The Article is here
http://www.politicallore.com/presidential-candidates/barack-obama/who-should-be-secretary-of-state/450

I am trying to figure out who should be in our upcoming poll, so list multiple choices here!

[mth44sc]

1. Who ever Obama chooses

It is - after all - his choice - not mine. And I trust him to choose well....

[politicallore]

2. why does no one like to have fun? lol... obviously we have no say/sway, lol... I hope we don't...

[mth44sc]

4. So kick out a name

we'll all play along. I swear :-)

[politicallore]

7. For fun? Arnold Schwarzenegger

Helps, that I just watched predator!

Joe Biden would be a good one... wait...

Bill Richardson, seriously.

[mth44sc]

12. you're toast

Thought Bill would suit me fine.

[politicallore]

13. "I'll be back"!?!

[TheKentuckian]

3. Kerry is about perfect for and has earned whatever job he wants

but if he'd rather not then I'm fine with Richardson.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

5. Kerry is not tough enough. Does Rahm Emmanuel have an identical twin? nt

[blue_onyx]

6. I think Kerry is my preference

I worry about taking him out of the Senate though. Kennedy has cancer so if he has to leave office and we were to have Kerry go to the Obama administration, we would lose 2 senior Senators from Mass.

8. Kerry.- more than qualified and deserving. I want him to be remembered

for being more than just the man that lost to Bush and went back to the Senate. Of course this is what I would like to happen. Maybe, he is content where he is. Unfortunately, history will not record much of his efforts in the Senate. The Secretary of State position on the other hand offers him a chance be part of history in an historic presidency and a chance to be involved first hand in world changing events.

9. Wesley Clark

[nomorewhopper]

10. John Kerry

smartest guy in the room

tons of foreign policy experience

war hero

[Sebastian Doyle]

11. Bill Richardson

Biden was my second choice, but he got another gig.

[halobeam]

14. Kerry is invaluable in so many ways.....

What a tough decision there. Awesome senator, great-president that wasn't, ass kicking attorney, experienced vet....

Anywhere he winds up, the other places, imo... lose out.


I don't know many of the people in your article, so I can't help out regarding your up coming poll..sorry.


I like Gen. Wes Clark but I don't know if he'd better serve as Defense Sec. or as SOS... not sure about his communication skills and how they'd compare to his strategical abilities.

Any help whatsoever? lol.. hope so. If not, still had fun, playing.

15. Wes Clark or Bill Richardson not John Kerry

[politicallore]

16. I sorta agree...

[grantcart]

17. I think Wesley Clark would be an excellent SOS

[spindrifter]

18. I prefer Bill Richardson for SoS.

[rurallib]

20. Second!

[FrenchieCat]

19. Don't care.....cause it will be the right person.

[Lewiskw]

21. Bill Richardson

He has done a lot of international work even during the bush admin.

[MrSlayer]

22. Wesley K. Clark.

He would be a tremendous SoS what with his exceptional knowledge of international affairs and high level diplomacy skills.

[SoCalDemGrrl]

23. I like John Kerry for the position

[lutefisk]

24. Carter. . . eom

[QueenOfCalifornia]

27. That is who

my husband suggested to me when we talked about it. :)

[vanderBeth]

25. Kerry

[Hutzpa]

26. I think it should be Colin Powell

before you guys go ape crap on me...hear me out...

Colin was there when Commander Joker and his merry men decided to invade, IMO
he knows the crapology behind Bushes ideology and would be able to point out
what was the thinking before and after they came to the decision. He can definitely
help undo all the inept Laws that where past.

Have him there for 2yrs and then put a Dem in, where as by then most dem in the Senate
will be up for re-election. Using Senators is just not wise on my part because we will
have to find a capable individual to replace that Senator.

Kerry has already been re-elected and it would be pointless to give up that seat after
running or re-elecion.

Besides...Colin might just have a secret VENDETTA.


My 2cent.

[zuul9]

28. Whoever he chooses will be fine

Hard to pick between Richardson, Kerry and some other names

[sampsonblk]

29. Wesley Clark

Outstanding man, and perfect experience for the job considering the rough situation we are in. And he is tough.

[nomorewhopper]

30. John Kerry - brilliant, tons of foreign policy experience, war hero

[truebluecollar]

31. Al Gore

the first Sec. of State with a Nobel Peace prize since...Kissinger?

[YvonneCa]

32. Kerry. Not a doubt in my...

...mind.:patriot:
