I was filling the whole thing out for real and decided I'd rather it be populated by comic book characters, preferably Batman and a Rogue's-Gallery-gone-good.

Scott Kleeb is really, really, incredibly good looking.

[schmiss]

And he has a PhD. It's like... smart, works with his hands, political. I GIVE UP. LET'S CLONE HIM.

[screamingintune]

PLEASE give Hillary Senate Majority Leader. Harry Reid fails on so many levels.

I've heard rumors of Jennifer Granholm being floated for SCOTUS.

Definitely Bill Richardson for Secretary of State. And ITA on Richard Clarke, Daschle, and Max Cleland.

Also, in my fantasy world, Dennis Kucinich as Secretary of Labor.

Rahm Emanuel, bleh. I'm not a fan of Pelosi but I like her better than Rahm. He's the guy who poo-pooed all over Howard Dean and his 50 State Strategy. If we'd listened to tools like him, we wouldn't be looking at Virginia and North Carolina as possible swing states, and our forecast for House and Senate numbers wouldn't be so bright.

Al Gore -- 45th President of the United States after two awesome terms of Barack Obama.

I actually hadn't heard of Granholm until this but sounds good to me.

Yeah, I know Rahm hated on the 50ss, but that was because he didn't think his preferred candidates were getting enough money. And as Speaker he wouldn't have to worry about that, he could focus on arm-twisting and getting shit passed through the house.

ALTHOUGH HE COULD PRETTY MUCH EAT BABIES AND I WOULD LOVE HIM. So I'm a little biased, w/e.

[screamingintune]

Hahaha. He's too DLC for me, but ymmv.

I really like Jennifer Granholm. Too bad she's Canadian and can't ever run for president.

[schmiss]

I don't hate all DLC, just the really dickish ones like Harold Ford who looooove Republicans and can't say enough nice things about them, rofl. I do think the DLCers have good points at times though. Some of the netroots can get a little too isolated in their own worlds and think we should run ultra-liberal candidates and shun the blue dogs. And some of the DLCers think we should run only blue dogs who agree with Republicans more often than not. We need both sides to keep in balance, haha.

I'm not sure necessarily WHERE I would assign everyone but, here's my list in order of priority and likelihood

NEED:
Hill-dawg
the Bills (Richardson and Clinton)
Al Gore
Buffett
Wes Clark

WANT:
Kaine
Mark Warner
Hagel
Cleland
Daschle
Clark
that agricultural guy looks hot, so let's keep him
a few sane Republicans
and My gov, Granholm, on the Supreme Court, it might happen! (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/05/AR2008100502178_2.html?sub=AR&sid=ST2008100502277&s_pos&s_pos=

FANTASY:

Keith and Rachel for Press Secretaries
Palin in the job she is actually qualified for: Administrative Assistant to the Governor of Alaska

[screamingintune]

Rachel would make a really fantastic press secretary, actually. She is smart and disarmingly cheerful.

[proenza_chanel]

she really would. I mean she acts like Buchanan is her favorite old uncle, she can get along with anyone!

Keith on the other hand, would probably throw down with the Fox News crew within the first week.

[screamingintune]

LOL yeah I love Keith but he's good where he is. He's like me, he doesn't need to be spending time with people who don't agree with him, he's better off in his own world.

Rachel would be amazing at it, though. My only worry is that it's apparently the most miserable job in the universe, since none of them ever seem to make it through a full term.

[omgangiepants]

OMG this post is so amazing but I have no idea who I'd choose or where I'd put them. D:
