#1 No on Richard Armitage, who called Iran a democracy. Sam Nunn possibly; Lehman blew a gasket at the NY Police and Fire Fighters, a woeful move.

#3 I think it's time to get back to the old OSS days and choose a leader who is not afraid to get his hands bloody. Are there any aggressive ex-agents with paramilitary experience who have a knack for organizational and political skills.

#7 If the Dems are looking for political theater, I'd predict that once again it will blow back at them come election time.

#8 Sam Nunn the non neo-neo. A demo-proto progessive sort of conservative. Besides, he's got the bloodlines and is a good Mason.

#9 Since listening to Rockerfeller's disingenuous diatribe at the "official release" of the Senate Unintelligence Circus findings, I have elevated him to the level of the French Diplo Corps - whatever he's for, it's reasonable to begin with positioning yourself opposite.
