3. don't see many repub lites on that list :-) nt

[mucifer]

4. I was REAAALLY hoping Rham would be like the rude pundit attacking the right wingers

as chief of staff. All that crap about him being a fighter. That didn't happen. :(

[saltpoint]

5. I think sometimes a dark horse pick is the one to go

with.

I'll say there may be strong consideration for any Democrat who is possibly upset in a statewide contest this fall, but who deserved to win on merit alone, and who would be good at the executive function job of Chief of Staff.

My hope is that there would be no one available owing to those Democrats all winning their contests.

7. You left Harold Ford's name off the list.

Unknown as to how he'd do with the President's agenda.

Vermonters you are so blessed to have such a man as your governor at one time.

The rushpublicons were scared to death of Dean and it showed clearly and thats why he was smeared like he was with 'the scream'. The rest of us were robbed
