I think he could call in some favors and get things done. He's respected across the aisle and is familiar with DC politics. Dick Gephardt is another possibility.

| 11. I'm sure he is loved by Republicans |
|
because they don't really want real Healthcare Reform. So no doubt they would welcome him.
I think you should go look at some of his ratings from the the Public Health organizations. And he's not even Pro-Choice. Do we want someone who is not Pro-Choice running healthcare? Come on folks are we forgetting how much of a pain in the ass he was when he was in the Senate?
Isn't he one of the ones stopping getting cheap drugs from Canada?

| 4. Breaux is a BFEE fixer in a donkey mask. He and Poppy were BFFs even before Bill came along |
|
and stole Poppy's heart for favorite Dem fixer.

| 10. No, Gephardt would be better if it had to be one of those two. |

| 12. And Howard would still be far better than either of them |
|
Maybe that disqualifies him from the outset?

| 13. I don't think he'd take the pay cut, to be honest |
|
Breaux could've coasted to a fourth term in 2004 and continued to be a powerful figure during a very important time in American History. Instead he quit so he could get rich. Not that I have a problem with that, but I doubt he'd go back to public service.
