1. Patrick Fitzgerald
as Attorney General.

19. I would like
the most qualified person. Mr. Fitzgerald's being an independent is, in my opinion, a positive. The Justice Department can best serve the country by being non-political.

16. Since RFK, Jr. has endorsed Clinton
You can be sure he would have a prominent role in a Clinton admin. Not sure you can say that about Obama.

26. It's the only reason he endorsed her in the first place.
Though I seriously hope Bobby doesn't have any presidential ambitions of his own. It will never happen, at least as the truth remains buried about who killed his dad & uncle.

27. Actually
he endorsed her for the reason he stated: he has been impressed with her positions on environmental issues.

Not an ambulance chaser.

14. No Edwards as AG
I think he has too much of his own agenda to be AG. He can't freelance and accomplish what he wants to accomplish, so he would be limited.

Perhaps I'm wrong, however.

I want to see Edwards in an Obama administration in some capacity.

22. I would love John Kerry as AG
Edited on Mon Jan-07-08 12:28 PM by WesDem
He'd clean house.

I think Obama will call on all sorts of people for his administration, whoever he knows has the best interest of the country at heart, whether they were partisans for another primary candidate or not. And the best of our party will answer.
