Oh God no, it will be carefully gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity balanced. Because everyone knows it's not important whether you're biased or not, it's whether you appear to be biased.

Maybe Hillary? Ha, ha. What the republicans don't get is that if comrade bush wins this time around, whoever they put up in 2008 will have to run against Hillary. They know they can't beat the Clinton machine. They've already been shot down twice by it.
ROTFLMAO.
About his cabinet. You can bet it wont be all millionaire white men. It will be representative of our society.

I have always said the only benefit from a kerry victory would be the fact that hillary would never run. she would not run agaisnt him as the incumbant (or she might, but doubt it) and in 8 years she will be getting up there in age. Hillary could not beat mcain or gulianni though, so it really doesnt matter.
oh ya, kerry is running the least diverse campaign in recent memory, if that sort of thing matters to you. do you know who has the most diverse cabinet by the way? george bush #43 is the answer, of course all the ethnic people in his cabinet are sell outs to the man, so it doesnt count.

McCain has shown his true colors. He has no chance of winning now. Guliani just might give her a run for her money. But we have no fear. The CLinton machine has kicked your asses before. Twice.
Getting up therein age? Are you aware that Reagan was ancient when he took office. And most presidents are in their 50-60's.

Jeese trav - pay attention. I said I used to be a republican.
Like a typical neocon you twist the words you hear/read to fit your own version of what you want to hear.

You either have way too much time on your hands or you had some help with that list. I haven't heard of half of those people.

He can be in charge of speechwriting/paraphrasing/stealing.

90% No Time 10% Help.
I looked at a massive list of possible candiates for each posistion compield by USA Today, and then looked up each one (yes, thats how much time, I dont have) and made my choices based on who I thought would best fit into the roll under a Kerry Administration, and also a bit of political, racial, and gender mixing, that they are sure to have.

Fox News' Brian Wilson reported yesterday, that Elliot Spitzer is the very likely choice to be Attourny General for a Kerry administration.
I like this choice, and that was one of the ones, that I wanted to see get picked, but I picked Holder because of his experience and ethnicity....I thought he
would be a more political pick.

You might be able to scratch that.
Looks like Spitzers in a little trouble up in New York for all these law suits hes been filling....on behalf of HIMSELF. lol.
I am still at this point going to say hes the favorite to get the nod though.

OK, good thread.
Now that we all agree on who will be the next president, lets pick his cabinet.
I think president Kerry's cabinet picks will all be republican senators from states that have democrat governors and then a month later -- can all their butts. ROTF.
