Kerry's Cabinet

[CollectiveInterest]

I would put Holbrooke ahead of the other Dem choices for SoS. Although Nunn would work. I'd like to see if Kerry can negotiate Hagel or Lugar into being SoS.

SECDEF. Nunn's the only one I can muster much enthusiasm for.

Bob Graham for head intel guy.

Howard Dean seems like he deserves a prominant role. UN Ambassador maybe?

Elliot Spitzer would be a good AG.

Dick Gephardt for Trade Rep.

Secretary for Vets Affairs should be someone who served in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Nat'l Security Advisor: Zinni or Wes Clark
