John F. Kerry should be boldly presumptuous and sit down with committed politicians and choose his cabinet before the convention.

Since America is still in a wartime frame of mind, the VP should be Wesley Clark.

Secretary of State should be tough minded but strong on peace, therefore Howard Dean

Secretary of Defense: McCain or Gen. Zinnia

Attorney General: John Edwards

Secretary of Veteran Affairs” Max Cleland.

Secretary of Labor: Richard Gephardt

Secretary of Health and Human Services: Bill Clinton

Secretary of Energy: Warren Buffet

Secretary of Interior: Ralph Nader

Secretary of Housing & Urban Development: Charles Rangel

Secretary of Education: Donna Shalala

Secretary of Transportation: Andrew Cuomo

Secretary of Commerce: Jesse Jackson

Secretary of Agriculture: Bob Dole

Secretary of Homeland Security: Bob Graham

UN Ambassador: Carol Moseley-Braun

Some interesting picks. Can't see Clinton takong the job though, it's a bit of a comedown from his last job

Yeah, I agree, besides he would be under scrutiny in associating with female government workers.

if only cabinet posts were elected offices (ahahahaha if you think things are nuts now...)

i just found this but like everything else you post it was well worth checking out. quite an ensemble. clinton might go for secretary of state. nader isnt much of a team player and interior is too important to gamble with. im not sure what jackson would bring to commerce. otherwise, it works for me.
