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
heads explode over it!
