True, however George S. Patton (Ret) would have been a fantastic SECDEF. Yes, I know ... it’s a fanciful dream.

>>Lieberman for secretary of state
Powell or Petraeus for Secretary of Defense<<
We need John Bolton as Secretary of State to clear that place out.
Lieberman can be Treasury, Homeland Security, H&HS where his soft-spoken nature won’t hurt our nation.
Powell cannot be trusted for ANYTHING. Remember, it was he who sat silent and never once did he apologize for the Plame affair. It was his deputy, Richard Armitage, who started the whole mess. Powell knew that was Armitage and did nothing. He left his President swinging in the wind.

McPain is an idiot. Then again on many issues McPain IS a Democrat. He doesn’t learn. Demoncrats screwed Bush. They will do the same for McPain. Demoncrats have no honor.

While a brilliant battlefield tactician, it's hard to think of anyone who would have fewer of the political skills required of a SECDEF than Patton.

I have always thought that John Breaux, the former LA Senator, was very knowledgeable about energy issues and so would be a good fit at the DOE.

McPain is using Sarah for her gender and sassiness. When you look at who he was considering - RIDGE and Lieberman - GEESH, isn't it obvious how squishy McPain is?

You have your reasoning I have mine. Don't rain on my parade and I won't rain on yours.
The reality is it would never happen for the reasons you mentioned. However I still believe he would have been great precisely because he wasn't a politician. Doesn't mean it can be said. We're brainstorming here nothing more. No harm no foul.

Okay guys. Here’s the deal.
He’s a lot like Bush in a particular way.
Resolve.
He has been a staunch and unyielding centrist for perhaps the past 20 years. It doesn’t matter who yells at him or what pressure is exerted. He won’t change his mind. When you hate the position he is taking, you hate his resolve. When you don’t, you don’t.
It’s a campaign. A CAMPAIGN. Nothing is coming out of his mouth that hasn’t been carefully checked for net vote gain.
This election is about the middle. Most elections of the future will be so as the demographics of the US change. Hispanics and Asians are the FASTEST GROWING demographic in the US and it doesn’t matter why. They are, and they are citizens and they will vote. Their philosophies must be molded to conservatism or there will be no election wins in the future.
Centrism is the path to victory this year, and for the forseeable future. Centrism is rightward of leftist communists. It’s the best you can do, and it will always for the rest of your life be the best you can do.
