Post Who Will be in a Kerry Cabinet?

I'm guessing that Kerry would name John McCain as Secretary of Defense, and Bill Clinton as U.N. Ambassador (which will be raised to a cabinet level position.)

I think that Robert Kennedy, Jr. would make a good head of the EPA. Does the EPA count? It's a Cabinet rank position. He has done some great work cleaning the Hudson.

I find the use of the word "will" in the title amusing.

Maybe the thread should be "Hypothetically who might be in Kerry's Cabinet."

Are you still volunteering for the LaRouche campaign? I know you dropped out of Depaul to hand out those fliers on the corners in hyde park but I didn't know if you still were doing it.

I titled the same way for the thread about a second Bush administration.

I hope that you were equally amused.

I like Howard Dean as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

(Oh, and I find it unneccesary that Bush-supporters are coming into this thread. If you don't like Kerry and his ideas, fine and dandy, it's your perogative. This thread is a might/maybe kind of thing. Kerry supporters haven't touched the Bush cabinet thread, so let us daydream a little, kay? )

One problem with Ted Kennedy. He's the senior senator from Massachusetts, Kerry is the junior senator. If a senator leaves to take another job, the governor appoints a new senator. Now our governor is a conservative republican and would appoint a republican. So by picking Ted Kennedy, Kerry would effectively lose two Democratic seats in the Senate - good news for those of you who are Republicans, bad news for the rest of us.

Don't even get me started on Ralph Nader. He needs a mute button.

In terms of my picks:
Wesley Clark for some national-security posting. Either secretary of state or Secretary of Defense.

Former Georgia Senator Max Cleland for some position. He was lynched by Republicans who questioned his patriotism - and I don't care that his injuries weren't technically combat related, I would bet 20 dollars that most of the Republicans making the accusations dodged the draft or served half-ass like W. (Please don't flame me he went MIA for quite some time in the Air National Guard AND had his term of service shortened so he could attend business school.)

I would love to see John McCain as vice president, but apparently he is not going to do it. I love John McCain and think if he were elected vice president it would really represent a new era in this country of bipartisanship, and hopefully engineer a split in the Republican party that I think is a long time coming - its bizarre to me that traditional, Rockefeller Republicans and the NRA/Christian Coalition Republicans are part of the same party. If the Republican Party were controlled by Rockefeller Republicans, I might vote for a Republican for a national office (so far I have voted for a Republican exactly once - for state senator - and i have voted in every single election/primary etc since i turned 18).

Re: Re: Re: Who Will be in a Kerry Cabinet?

The Republican party was founded as a party that melded issues together. It enveloped the anti-slavery issues from its start. Of course the Republican party of old is not the Republican party of new but certain things remain very intact. As for the Christian right, well those are actually Democratic voters historically and even now Bush is trying to court them because he's worried they will vote Democrat over Republican in this election.

And I would love to see why Democrats love McCain who is very Republican just like Lieberman is very Democratic.

People seem to get the following terms confused:

Republican and Conservative

and

Democrat and Liberal
