For discussion....Who should Replace The Condiliar??? her record to date sucks...

[opihimoimoi]

Who would do best for America and the Planet as a whole???? and is that person on the List? If there is a List at this date?

Much depends on that Position ......

[BOSSHOG]

1. I have only one candidate - GEN WES CLARK

Whomever the next Dem president is needs that man to undo condi's four years of massive fuckups.

[opihimoimoi]

5. He will be on the short list for sure

[Warpy]

2. A Democrat, first and foremost

and Richardson's name is always at the top of the list, even though we'd love to keep him here in New Mexico.

He's one of the few people who could possibly undo the damage people like Rice and Bolton have done to the State Department.

Bill Clinton, of course, should be at the UN. He's one of the few who could undo the damage done by Bolton.

6. Good name for sure....

[BOSSHOG]

8. Love to see Governor Richardson as VP

and General Clark as SECSTATE. Talk about an all star team.

[opihimoimoi]

10. Ya know, i gatt believe them 2 would do a heckofa...opps..A GOOD JOB

[Warpy]

15. Richardson has more of a track record in international negotiations

and has stated many times that he will remain governor rather than take the number 2 spot on the ticket.

However, Clark would be great in the #2 spot, giving Obama the military expertise his team requires and putting a southerner on the ticket. Richardson would be of little use to him as a vote getter. Contrary to GOP popular wisdom, Hispanics do not vote in a bloc.

24. Canuck (18) has sim comments....re Richardson....

[navarth]

3. Joe Biden or Wesley Clark

[opihimoimoi]

7. So far its Clark, Richarson, and Biden....good list to start with...all are winners.

[SpiralHawk]

4. "No more foxy ankle turns for you, Ophi. You are totally cut off. Smirk." - Condi

[opihimoimoi]

9. Love that WHIPPPP....LOL

:spank: :toast:

[madmom]

11. No doubt about it... Clark!

[opihimoimoi]

12. Lotta votes for Clark...adding up...Clark looking good....

[jpljr77]

13. Maybe it's just me....

but I think I have a problem with a military man being Secretary of State.

I really, really like Clark (he was my horse in the 2004 primaries, kind of), but that position should not be a military one. I think that it has historically been military-free until Bush (of course) named Colin Powell to the position.

Maybe it's just me, and I'm missing something (or completely wrong), but having a former general -- especially one who was involved in authorizing aggressive action -- as Sec of State just smacks of jingoism.

[madmom]

14. I think Clark is smart enough that it won't be a problem. I was always against a military

person in any top spot in the government, but I've read a lot about Clark and I really respect him.

[opihimoimoi]

19. I am sure Clark would wish to thank you

[opihimoimoi]

20. I am sure your fears/concerns will be discussed...as it should be...

[QueenOfCalifornia]

16. Jon Stewart

Because of that goofy shrug and eye roll thing.

:rofl:

[opihimoimoi]

21. Ya know, Jon might not be a bad idea...fresh, least expected, brings a successful

track record to the scene....er, table....

[Imalittleteapot]

17. Richardson or Biden

[opihimoimoi]

22. more support for the top runners

[Canuckistanian]

18. Bill Richardson, no brainer

Already has TONS of successful foreign and diplomatic experience.

Served as Ambassador to the UN. Hostage negotiations with Iran, N. Korea and Cuba. Even negociated with Saddam to get two American contractors released.

U.S. Secretary of Energy. Adjunct Professor at the Kennedy School of Government. Chairman of the Democratic Governor's Association.

Legalized medical marijuana in New Mexico.

This man shames Condilliar with his achievements.

[opihimoimoi]

23. Wow, he has credentials and respect...needed... the nom and confirmation.....

I have to admit at this stage...Bill is looking good...If only our new Dem President can agree....
