Now that Biden got V.P., I'm looking at Richardson for Sec State..

[Virginia Dare]

Wes Clark for NSA.

I WAS thinking John Edwards for Dept of Labor or AG until his personal difficulties arose, but who knows maybe he can still have a role.

I think they'll probably give Hillary Senate Majority Leader as a concession.

[polichick]

1. I'm sure Richardson will have a position, but Clark's absence from the convention...

...tells me there must be more to the Obama-Clark relationship than we've heard.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. I bet Obama was really P.O.'d when Clark made those McCain war

prisoner comments. NOT because he didn't agree - but because it
wasn't a more controlled message.

Despite Clark's brilliance - he may not be very likeable on a personal
level? I heard someone say that "everyone who ever worked for him hates him."

But, I do wonder - if Clark hadn't jumped on the Clinton bandwagon - what
might have been.

[polichick]

11. Wow, that's interesting about people not liking him - didn't know that.

[knixphan]

13. I didn't know that either...

[RedShoes]

22. Clark only has a scheduling problem...he'll be there Thursday.

2. Good picks... I would so like to see Rubin in Treasury...

...but he might be a little too controversial.

Fortunately, we have lots and lots of talent to work with.

happily,
Bright

[MikeE]

3. I'd like to see Hillary as Attorney General

and that sound you just heard was any remaining repgs just shitting their pants

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. what about Universal Healthcare Csar? Obama admitted he didn't

know the finer details of healthcare.

[terrya]

8. I still see Hillary on the Supreme Court.

I think she would gladly accept it and would make a fine addition to SCOTUS.

[Virginia Dare]

10. RW heads would definitely explode everywhere...n/t

[Virginia Dare]

9. I think you keep Hillary in the Senate..

I just don't think she and Obama would have a productive working relationship within the White House.

[WeDidIt]

4. Absolutely! n/t

[rucky]

7. I'd like to see Clark in a position

where he has control over the Pentagon budget.

In '04, he and Kucinich were the only candidates who would dare address the Military Industrial Complex.

[blm]

12. No one will GIVE Hillary senate leader. Durbin has EARNED that spot and he will get it

especially with Obama and Kerry in his corner. Senate majority leader is not a concession prize.

[knixphan]

14. wonder if Kerry or Dodd would want the SoS...

[MiniMe]

16. Don't raid the Senate

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

18. Kerry will be chair of Foreign Relations (Unless Dodd gives up Banking)

[knixphan]

21. true indeed.

[bushisanidiot]

15. Not a bad idea

.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

17. With Biden around Sec State should be a wonk, not a pol

I don't remember whether Richard Holbroke is liked of disliked by camp Obama, but that general KIND of Sec State would be best if Biden is VP. A top-tier technocrat rather than another politician.

Clark would be okay.

[AwakeAtLast]

19. Al Gore on the Supreme Court!

I would think I had died and gone to heaven if that happened. The Freeper carnage would be a thing of beauty!!! :bounce:

[Bake]

20. Maybe we ought to try winning the election first ....

Something about counting chickens before they're hatched ...

Biden's an OK choice, I suppose (and no, I'm not a PUMA type), but really, it was rather predictable and not particularly daring. I'm just not that excited about it. Two sitting Senators on the ticket, one of whom is a LONG-TIME Beltway insider with a propensity to shoot off his mouth. Whoopeeeeeeeee.

[TheDonkey]

23. I'd go for Kerry actually.
