11. I agree!! and Obama for VP |
|
I love Gore but I don't think he's as interested as he SHOULD BE if he thought he could make a big enough difference. He's doing a GREAT job right where he is..........
jmo
It's not gonna matter cuz Hillary has some LOYAL WEALTHY lemmings that I'm willing to BET want it so bad they will do almost anything to get it. Sadly. She's NOT Presidential. She's barely Senatorial.

I've found out Obama is NOT ALL that actually.
Not only did he NOT help with LAMONT but he has hired the same communications person that swiftboated Howard Dean in the primaries! That's a pretty PUG LIKE 'tude. I'm not all up on it either so NO MORE promoting Obama. He's apparently willing to get very dirty to gain power. I don't like that.
And there's WES CLARK out there working every day for democrats and for making the world a better place. I wonder if he was the recent "leak" from over at fox? I bettcha! What better place for him to gain information to take down the Evil SOON gone from POWER Empire.

13. Big Dawg -Sec/State, Great ! ...OP, this looks a little on the heavy |
|
side with White Guys.....
We have some brilliant, outspoken, respected and very well liked women who would qualify for most all of these positions. :shrug:
White guys have been running the show for..., well for-ever and we've got some real messes.
BTW, I have nothing against white guys. I've been happily married to one for 30 years.

7. Wes Clark isn't eligible for Defense |
|
Edited on Wed Nov-15-06 07:15 PM by mentalsolstice
The Defense Secretary must not have served in the armed forces during the previous 10 years (10 USC Sec. 113). He'll miss it by a year, as he retired in 2000. Put him in as VP, Obama in as Sec. of State, Joe Biden in for Defense? Or flip Clark with Obama, either would do well at the State Dept.?
I also think Hillary would be good with the State Dept. as she has been a strong advocate for women and children overseas...
