Psssssssssssst! It's not about Susan Rice

[malaise]

It's about the Senate seat for Scott Brown. They want it real bad.
I'm so glad Obama 'effed' them up yesterday.

1. Yes indeed! and THEY HAVE NO SHAME, MALAISE!!! No damn shae!!

[malaise]

2. And if anyone has any doubt just listen to their behavior

since the shellacking!
That's why people like Obama - he's classy and human. I remember how shocked M$Greedia's hacks were when he publicly stated that Dems got a shellacking in 2010.

I hate them.

3. You may be right.

However, there have to be qualified candidates other than either Rice or Kerrey.

I was thinking about Richardson, myself.

4. Didn't Richardson have some scandal towards the end of his

tenure as governor?

7. Here ya go

-snip-

.... On December 3, 2008, then-President-elect Barack Obama designated Richardson for appointment to the cabinet-level position of Commerce Secretary.[1] On January 4, 2009, Richardson announced his decision to withdraw his nomination because of an investigation into possibly improper business dealings in New Mexico.[2][3][4] In August 2009, federal prosecutors dropped the pending investigation against the governor, and there was speculation in the media regarding Richardson's career, as his second and final term as New Mexico governor concluded ...

8. Thanks

16. Thanks, too.

12. the case was dropped.

And I've tended to assume it was dropped because there was nothing to it.

I lean towards Richardson myself. He has good international experience, including with N. Korea.

5. If she was up for SOS,

if rumors are correct, Kerry would've been up for sec of defense. Not completely sold on this being the reason.

15. wasn't it more than rumor about Kerry as SOD? where did you see this floated?

I can't remember where I read or heard this but I seem to recall it being fairly valid and less of a rumor.

6. That's what I said eariler in Politic2012. Most agreed, some didn't.

9. Looks like they should have let Warren become head of the CFPA.

Now, if they block Susan Rice, I wonder what Senate seat she'll run for.

[geckosfeet]

10. Agreed. Or some other puke that just got kicked out.

11. What if he got Colin Powell to be SOS

Not that I love the idea but it would shut them the f up.

[magical thyme]

13. Didn't Powell lose a lot of credibility with the rest of the world...

when he lied us all into the war in Iraq?

I don't think he'd be viewed as trustworthy or an honest broker any more...

[progressoid]

17. Yup.

Sorry Colon, your days are done in the govt.

[HereSince1628]

14. What if he moved up a professional like Wendy Sherman?

Why not pick a professional?
