#2 Since Kerry is going to lose, the only speculation of interest is what happens in the new Republican cabinet, given that they will have a very comfortable Senate majority.

I see four major objectives in the coming two years: topple the tyrants in Iran and Syria, start to privatize social security, sharply reduce government spending, and last but not the least abandon the UN.

#3 Add this one: appoint some conservative SC justices.

#4 Biden is a pretty hard-headed guy, and wouldn't be bad. He is no dove.

Clark, however, is a f*&%ing idiot and should not be given any post higher than community college janitor.

#5 INRE the last comment:

Buried in the bottom of this Washing Post story is this quote: "NBC Washington correspondent Tim Russert and Post reporter Glenn Kessler gave interviews to [Federal Prosecutor Patrick J.]Fitzgerald under similar circumstances earlier this summer, also with waivers from Libby. Both journalists said they did not have to identify confidential sources and they told Fitzgerald that Libby did not reveal Plame's name to them."

But then, why would the LLL let the facts get in the way of a meme?

#7 Biden is even worse than Kerry. Birds of a feather, but Kerry better watch out for Biden--he bites!

#9 Biden is as transparent as his pate. His tour this week involved touring secondary cities in Iowa with four disgruntled vets from Iraq tour. This is no statesman, this is a blow hard insideous, self-aggrandizing moron.

#10 this is a blow hard insideous, self-aggrandizing moron.

#11 Bidens better than Kerry, but worse i think, on Iraq and the WOT, than Holbrooke.

Hagel should NOT get a security cabinet position. In EITHER admin.

I cant believe Clarke (Wes) is a serious candidate for NSA. Watch out John, that man cant be trusted. Any random Clinton foreign policy wonk would be a better choice.

McCain on the other hand would be a very good pick for Defense. In EITHER admin.

#13 Every time Joe Biden smiles I get an urge to check my wallet.

#14 Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware has been asked by Mr Kerry to become Secretary of State in a Democratic administration, according to Kerry campaign aides.

Being a tad presumptuous, perhaps?

#15 Watch, he'll declare victory before the polls even close on the east coast.

#17 Liberalhawk: McCain betrayed men in Vietnam too, and he's a party "shape-shifter," so I think he'd be a terrible choice. And Rush agrees with me.
