How about this for an unbeatable agenda?

[MaryBear]

Top dem candidates work together to decide what job they want if not prez, and support whomever the people choose?

How many here would want Hillary, Obama, Edwards, Kucinich and Clark in the same administration?

It would be win, win, win, win, win.

1. all those egos would kill each other

[Tellurian]

2. We're talking about adults here...are we not?

I think it's a Grand idea!

16. If America ever needed a "Dream Team," it's now.

Edit: Meant to reply to OP. It's late...sorry. :hi:

[MaryBear]

3. Theirs are egos that want to effect positive change.

i am sure they could get gratification

in any role that offered power to do

and recognition for it.

[Tellurian]

4. ...

:dem:

[Dracos]

5. I can see Clark being

Sectary of State or Defense Obama or Edwards as V.P. Hillary want to be Prez and I don't think she will accept anything else.

[MaryBear]

6. We are talking about applying their gifts.

Hillary and all the others would want to be prez, of course, that is why they are running. But if not prez, what role?

[Dracos]

8. obviously

she could serve in the cabinet,but I think if not Prez she would be better to stay in the Senate.

10. Senator

I would much rather be a Senator that "Secretary of Playgrounds" or something.

[Eric J in MN]

7. If Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama aren't the nominees...

...(for president or vp) then they could probably accomplish more as Senators then by accepting administration positions.

[MaryBear]

11. Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama as accomplished Senators...

Your suggestion sounds good, but what about either as Secretary of State? Or as head of health, etc.?

[theboss]

9. Every four years, someone touts this idiotic idea

People do not vote for "administrations."

They vote for candidates.

[MaryBear]

12. Baloney!

A good President attracts and keeps good people on her/his team.

[MonkeyFunk]

14. yes

but the pool of talent is far larger than other candidates.

People DO propose this all the time - it's pretty silly. Very few failed candidates are offered or accept jobs in the new administration.

[MaryBear]

15. Regardless how often proposed,

the underlying idea is for Dems to stick together.

NO idea is silly, MonkeyFunk.

If we are to build a better life on this planet,

we had better stop put downs

and begin using some imagination.

[JeremyWestenn]

13. No, if not President then they need to stay where they are. They'll shine more there. n/t
