[lisa58]

1. I used to hope for John Edwards...

...but I think that's probably dead.

What about Patrick Fitzgerald or David Iglesias?

[medeak]

2. don't think it's John Edwards

who I was hoping for prescandal

[scheming daemons]

3. Janet Napolitano is the name I've heard

[SoxFan]

20. I hope she gets the job

She's a former state AG, a former US Attorney, tough and compassionate.

Her office helped me out when I was sheparding a crime victim's rights bill through the NH legislature. She has long been a leader in the area of victims rights, and her staff was fantastic.

4. Elliot Spitzer

:o

[fujiyama]

30. There was a time when he would have been nearly a shoe in

[Thrill]

5. Napolitano and Tim Kaine

[camera obscura]

29. I personally would like Tim Kaine but he's expressly ruled it out until 2010

the Lt. Gov of VA is a Republican so he won't serve until his term is up.

[blue_onyx]

6. I heard it could be Jennifer Granholm too

although I've heard her name for the Supreme Court too. Janet Napolitano is the name I seem to hear the most.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. Patrick J. Fitzgerald?

8. Wouldn't that be sweet ? n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

10. You betcha!

It would definitely make me happy. :-)

[Thrill]

17. Good call. Especially with the Chicago connections

[bdamomma]

35. that would be great.

he would be a good choice.

[styersc]

9. Chelsea Clinton.

I know she hasn't trained as a lawyer and has no qualifications but I get such a kick out of so many who go into fits at the mention of the word "Clinton".

You'd think this was the Free Republic site.

[Catherine Vincent]

11. Funny!

And you're right!

[Bjorn Against]

12. Henry Waxman

Alright maybe I haven't heard any serious speculation on him, but I can dream can't I? He would be the best choice.

[jefferson_dem]

13. My guess: Either Napolitano, Kaine, or Patrick.

n/t

[GalleryGod]

34. Look at Eric Holder.

FWIW

[Catherine Vincent]

14. It may be Greg Craig. Remember him? He was Clinton's impeachment attorney.

I heard it on CNN.

[NYCGirl]

16. He was just tapped as White House Counsel. NT

[Tutonic]

15. Howard Stern. Gonna make Anna Nicole proud. Still dead but

proud.

[SoxFan]

18. Oh, what the hell, let's float Hillary's name for A, too

[Dinger]

19. : ) Or SC Justice nt

[Dinger]

21. Just To Lighten The Mood Around Here:

[carnie_sf]

23. I Gave It A Kick & Rec : )

[saltpoint]

24. Hi, Dinger, and thank you -- and also thank you for the calls for Franken.

He's by far the superior choice in that race, and Norm needs to be sent packin'.

[Dinger]

25. Word,

and you're welcome:)

[ElsewheresDaughter]

26. Elliot Spitzer

[xenussister]

27. Vincent Bugliosi would kick some ass

Unless...does the AG ever have dealings with the Supreme Court? If so, there would be something of a conflict of interest since Bugliosi wrote that book exposing the sham 2000 decision that led to the nightmare of the last 8 years.

Ha, that would be fun too...appointing Bug to the Supreme Court when the time came to put someone new in there.

I love Vincent Bugliosi and want him in our government.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. Fitz?

Pat Fitz? Maybe he could carry on the good work at fathoming out what has been going on for 8 years in the executive branch?

[davidpdx]

32. Given some of the discussions for SOS

My answer would be I don't want to talk about it yet. The end result is going to be more flamming in the end anyway.

[GalleryGod]

33. Well it is NOT John Edwards !

Hope that POA was good, Johnny!
You frittered away the "Perfect Appointment" in a Super Star Cabinet.
