2. Biden, I think, needs to be SOS
He isn't just another pretty face.

He knows a lot of shit about a lot of shit.

5. Richard Clarke as Natl Security Adviser
Find a Cabinet slot for Dennis Kucinich (maybe Obama ought to
adopt his Department of Peace proposal or something akin to it).

7. For his own protection Obama needs to pick a VP that the Repukes
would hate to have as Prez more than him.

I'm not exactly sure who that is, but I'm sure Obama, et. al. know.

10. That'd be Dennis Kucinich of course
(Heads would explode behind the scenes within the republican party should that happen!)

18. He was who I had in mind. My first choice for Prez anyway.
Would LOVE to see that happen! He did give Obama his Iowa delegates.

But Avg. Joe Amurka thinks he looks like an elf, plus he saw a UFO, so that automatically disqualifies him. :sarcasm:

11. I think Clark
is excluded from the DOD till 2010. You have to not be a general for a long time before you can be Sec of Defense.

17. Obama needs a VP nominee who will MAXIMIZE probability of winning, not Biden;
for the umpteenth time, I think a woman would be best, someone highly knowledgeable and competent who has LOTS of foreign policy background, and who NEVER supported the Iraq War Resolution:

Sen Boxer fills the bill, but there are other possibilities
