I had a thread a few months back that somehow got deleted but now that it's official, I've updated my list of possible candidates. I realize some of these are long shots.

1. Doug Jones for AG.

[themaguffin]

9. He should get something, but I would like Yates or Preet there

[Heartstrings]

2. I would love to see Pete Buttigieg somewhere in that mix! nt

[grobertj]

4. I think he'd make a terrific Press Secretary!

[Heartstrings]

7. Absolutely!

[msongs]

3. and no senators were harmed making this list nt

[kurtcagle]

5. Three that come to mind

* Letitia James for Attorney General (Current AG for New York)
* Anthony Fauci for Surgeon General of Secretary of Health and Human Services
* Jay Inslee for Department of the Interior (Yes, he just won his second term as governor, but we have a fantastic Lt. Gov. in Denny Heck)

6. Pete Buttigieg as UN Ambassador.

8. Agreed on Susan Rice for SoS. How about Stacey Abrams for DNC Chair?

[kurtcagle]

10. Shouldn't that be DNC Chair?

But yes. Assuming she doesn't decide to run for governor in Georgia in 2022.

11. God! Thanks for the correction. Have to slow down my typing.
