The Dream Team Game
No one wants to play with me in GD (surprise, surprise!). So maybe someone here will indulge me?

Here's how it works. You're on the Transition Team and responsible for tossing in names for our new Democratic President to consider for cabinet posts and other positions. I'm going to post positions within this thread that we can put names under.

As much as we find Rules to be totally anathema, I'm going to put in a few anyway. Even though I think we're less likely to get some of the buzz crushing in this forum.

1: No speculating who the President is.
2: Nominee must be alive.
3: No buzz crushes insisting McCain will be President.
4: Please take it moderately seriously. I would love to learn more about Democrats out there that I may have never heard of. I'm sure there are Governors, Reps, Senators, Lawyers, Activists, etc. who would be perfects fits that I have never encountered before. I'd like to broaden my horizons.

Okay, off to post the positions underneath this.

51. Tom Harkin.
The Sr. Senator from Iowa.

He has a very progressive voting record. I'd want him to be the tie-breaker. :thumbsup:

16. I'd be tempted to dissolve this department and eliminate the cabinet post.
At the very least, change the bloody name.
