1. Max Cleland for Dpt. of Veterans Affairs
It would be my dream to see John Conyers appointed Attorney General.

11. There needs to be a minority in one of the Big 3
If Bush can put Condi and Colin in there somewhere, no excuse for any Democratic president either. There should be a woman as well. All this white male stuff ain't gonna cut it.

Attorney General
Secretary of State
Secretary of Defense

Those are the Big 3. I wouldn't mind seeing John Edwards at Justice. He'd be perfect and would give him a job and something to do.
