I'm anticipating a rout next Tuesday. So permit me to think about a Romney Dream Team Cabinet. You can add your own. I'm sure in a Romney WH everything is on the table. I look forward to getting rid of gov't waste. Hopefully the following people as secretaries will transition these depts into something that promotes success, productivity, the pursuit of happiness etc.
Dept of Energy (if deemed to still be needed) Sarah Palin Dept of Education (same a above) Newt Guingrich Dept of Commerce Herman Cain Attorney General Rudy Guliani Secretary of State Condi Rice Dept of Defense General Petreus (I'll give him another chance)
Expect Romney’s cabinet to look exactly like the Bush cabinets. It’ll be mostly the same people.
The original purpose for the formation of the Dept of Energy was to find ways to develop energy independence. Keep it but on day one make that the only reason for it's existence.
I’d like to see Luigi Zingales in a Romney cabinet, either at Treasury or at Commerce.
Definitely Palin at Energy, even if it’s just to oversee turning out the lights before most of its functions devolve to Commerce, with a few going elsewhere.
Really, Condi Rice at State again? I’d like to see someone hard-nosed, clear-eyed about the threat posed by Islam, and not afflicted with Slavophobia. I’d really like to see a volte face in our Balkan policy. And, unless it’s Rumsfeld or Cheney, I’m also not interested in any Bush administration retreads for policy reasons, and for 2016 political reasons it’s probably better to not have either of them either.
Newt should be voted in as Speaker of the House. (since you need not be a member to be speaker and since he did well there once before)
General Petraeus first lost favor with me for supporting the horrible ROE in Afghanistan when McCrystal was dismissed. He lost another chit when he joined this awful administration. He lost even more by not breaking with the same on Benghazi. And then you want to give him another chance?
Are yu suffering from battered wife syndrome?
Guess we’ll have to wait and see, I highly doubt it will be what you claim.
Ye of little faith ~
Rob Portman for Treasury
Sheriff Joe Arpaio or Darrell Issa for Homeland Security
Jeb Bush for Education
John Sununu as FCC chair, and Romney should let him loose on the MSM, esp. Soledad O’Brien
I thought it was supposed to work with the EPA and Interior to thwart energy development.
The hell, you say! Energy Independence- what a concept!
SP could do that, shutter the EPA and get the Department of Inferior back in line. 3 Cabinet Secretaries into 1. That’s up her alley I believe.
dream team?
A bunch o’ RINO’s more likely
Dream Team (The Romney Cabinet)
We need to, like, actually win, first.
Sarah Palin, DOE. John Bolton, State. Chris Kyle, DoD.
So what in Romney’s overwhelmingly liberal big government record make you have any faith in him?
I disagree, Palin = Department of Interior
We seem to have a lot of “moderates” at FR these days.
Condi Rice, Jeb Bush, Rudy?
I thought the point was to get rid of the liberals.
I have to say no to Condi Rice for State. Too much Foggy Bottom Kool Aid. John Bolton would be a better choice. Petraus for DOD? Again, no. Besides, by law ten years must pass after he leaves military service before he is eligible for SecDef.
Palin will never have have a place in a Romney administration. It was Team Romney that was sticking GOP-E daggers in her back since even before the 2008 election to clear the way for Mitt. There’ll be no love lost there.
I expect a LOT of people with resumes saying they are Moslem and are seeking a job soon in Washington DC.
You noticed that too, huh?
Tell me about it. Jeb Bush at Education? That department should be abolished. Jeb will be handing out free college tuitions to illegals at the border.
“Dubya” for Sec of Defense. We know he wouldn’t leave our men behind. Also, it would caused mental collapse for the liberal scumbags such as Chris Matthews. Two birds, one stone.
That would be very sad.
The first thing senior Jebenez would do as education secretary is declare that the words “illegal Alien” be banned from usage for all department of education related communications.
Right.
I bet he’d do something like that.
God, we do not need a panderclaus government
Sec state -John Bolton
Interesting idea you have there.
His EPA appointment will be a stanch anti-business environmentalist. Book it. How else can he show he cares?
There s no way I would want Condi Rice. I don’t think she’s far away from being Colin Powell. Until the primary season was over, I didn’t even know if she was really a Republican. I want someone strong and not soft-spoken this time. Someone who commands attention.
AND, in spite of the general’s great career, both earned and bestowed, I’d like to hear from him as to why he believed a video cause all hell to break loose in Benghazi. I don’t believe him.
They won’t give Sarah the time of day.
After spouting all that, I have to admit I don’t know who Romney would choose. I do know it won’t be the Clinton’s, Big Sis, or Eric Holder. I’m pretty sure Christie is out. I miss Tony Snow. God bless us one and all.
I’m going to take the word “dream” literally, and make a pitch for Mark R. Levin, esquire, for Attorney General. He probably wouldn’t take it, but hey, I’m dreaming. He’d make a great Sec O’State too. While I’m at it, (and I know this isn’t ‘cabinet’ but it’s related) Glenn Beck would make a fun press secretary, wouldn’t he?
I admit it, you’re right.
Ann Coulter WH Press Secretary
“Secretary of State Condi Rice Dept of Defense General Petreus (I’ll give him another chance)”
EPIC FAIL.
EPIC.
Sorry, I don’t like Condi Rice. I just have a deep gut feeling that she voted for obama. I have no proof other than the fact that she has refused to tell anyone who she voted for. However, she has campaigned for Romney, but she could just be a Trojan Horse. I don’t know, just my thoughts. I say yes to Rudy for DOJ. I don’t think people would want to mess with Rudy too much.
Rudy is still a crossdressing NE liberal
For my 2 cents:
Sarah Palin DOE
John Bolton SOS
Rudy Guiliani AG
I don’t have a name for the DOD but it should be a General Patton type; someone who understands what the military is for and is not afraid to act accordingly.
Let's play spot the irony.
Big NO on Condi Rice as Sec of State. She is too much a Liberal Globalist...and we need someone that will stand up to the UN, EU, Islamic Terrorists....not someone that wants to play “patty cake” with them
And, not so sure about Rudy Giuliani as Atty General. He is too liberal, and would pander to Black Racist and Hispanic Racist groups. I want someone willing to arrest Al Sharpton, not appease Al Sharpton
Others sound good, though

He is, but he’s also very tough on crime. He wouldn’t be making policy, so that’s a consolation. I like the way he speechifies though.
I want him to create a Cabinet Position called Department of Reality, and I want Victor Davis Hanson to be the Secretary of Reality.
They are not RINOS!
Chris Matthews for shoe shine boy, spit shines at no extra cost.
Secretary of State - John Bolton
Secretary of Defense - Allen West
Secretary of Treasury - Jack Welch
Attorney General - Ann Coulter
Dept of Education - no one - ELIMINATE IT
Secretary of Labor - no one - ELIMINATE IT
Secretary of HHS - no one - ELIMINATE IT
Secretary of HUD - no one - ELIMINATE IT
Secretary of Transportation - no one - ELIMINATE IT
Secretary of Commerce - no one - ELIMINATE IT
Secretary of Agriculture - no one - ELIMINATE IT
Well we can put the liberal Republicans in places where they might do some good.
Condi Rice for UN Ambassador.
Rudy for Sec of State - he is tough and understands the WOT.
No to Jeb Bush anywhere, except perhaps an ambassadorship.
I love the idea of Sarah for Sec of Interior or Energy.
How about Newt to head the re-vamping of the EPA?
Hermon Cain for Sec of Commerce?
I’d put Newt in charge of Gov’t Innovation and Ron Paul in charge of Gov’t Elimination. When they both got to 1 Trillion, I’d have a meeting and see how we could get to a trillion more.
We can dream for your selection....
John Bolton for Secretary of State
Palin would never take a cabinet post. It would be low profile and she could not make money at it.
She will fade into obscurity.
