If not Susan Rice...who do we pick?

[DonCoquixote]

Personally, I see the Susan Rice things as a witch hunt,especially since the GOP hates the fact that they have been run out of Massachusetts, despite running Mitt.

However, I do want to put up a question..if we do not put Rice up, is there anyone else that would make a good, LIBERAL, Secretary of State? I myself want Kerry to stay where he is, so that the Senate remains strong. I myself would like, and yes, this is a shocker, Dennis Kucinich, but I know he is a long shot.

So DU, is there anyone else YOU would pick?

1. I just put this out there on leveymg's excellent thread!

Why not think out of the box?

Bill Moyers

Dr. Deane Marchbein - a Drs Without Border Board of Director with tons of foreign service expertise.

I dunno, somebody OUTSIDE the 1%???

Surely there are plenty of talented interesting souls who can converse, negotiate, schmooze, and get difficult things done that aren't connected to the political elite??

2. They want Scott Brown in the Senate in Kerry's seat!

And, speaking of brown, the racists and war on women crowd don't want a woman of color, no matter who it may be.

3. Mitt Romney...

It only makes sense...I mean, why shouldn't the man who got the second-most number of votes be the second most powerful person in the nation?
I can see this promulgated on FOX...
just in case!

4. If not Susan Rice

then I would be open to Gen. Wesley Clark. He's pragmatic, wise and patient.

6. I myself like Clark

and I wonder what happened to him?

5. Another potential candidate:

Anne-Marie Slaughter.

I don't know how her qualifications and experience stack up against the other potential candidates.
