2. The job means selling business opportunities, with labor, environment, human rights thrown in. |

Love Reich, but he's communicator economist par excellence more than globe-trotting salesman.
Does Bradley have the salesman personality? He's more intellectual Rhodes scholar, though a great addition to the WH b-ball team.

Unless he has done a 180 since his days in the Senate, he is not much better than the repuke Obama nominated.

8. Bill Clinton for Sec. of Commerce. Teach the Republicans it doesn't |
|
pay to play nasty with the President. Would serve them right and Bill would do a great job. At first I thought of it in jest but now it seems like an interesting idea. Just floating the possible nomination would drive the Republicans crazy.

9. Nah. But I would have to say Commerce is kind of irrelevant and it would be fun to see some wingers |
