Poll question: Which former Democratic candidate seems the most likely to also be in Obama's White House?
Biden, Clinton, and Richardson are done deals--who else?

(And just for grins, I'm going to include people from 2000 and 2004 too.)

1. Edwards is finished. The rest are possible but unlikely.

2. I think Wes Clark could be due for SOMETHING.

3. General Clark is definitely 'due' for something,
not because there's some entitlement for brilliant, devoted Dem vets, but because he has more to offer strategy-wise than any other: DOD (2010), Energy, etc etc etc.

4. I wouldn't mind seeing Bob Graham for NDI or CIA
or whatever initials the intelligence people are going by right now

5. I doubt Gore would accept a position
He can probably do more good outside of cabinet anyways.

6. Kerry's head of SFRC - why would he want a cabinet post? Besides, who else can citizens count on to
hold investigations of BushInc's global dealings? Certainly not the fascist wing of the Dem party that exists to protect BushInc.

7. None of them.
With the exception of Lieberman, they are all too liberal. Lieberman won't get a position. He doesn't need to; Obama already went to bat for him. He got to keep his Senate committee chairmanship.
