Al Franken for Sec of State

[itsrobert]

Serious times, takes a serious person.

[LiberalArkie]

1. No... Do not take any existing senators or reps out of congress. Or even Dem governors.

We can not afford to loose any

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Oh, boy, do I ever agree.

Leave those Dem Senators or Reps or even governors in place. We've fought too damn hard to have them taken away.

[GentryDixon]

3. I agree.

We cannot give up any seats.

[jonthebru]

10. I agree with your statement

There must be someone who is not in a critical elected office at this time who can do the job.

[justiceischeap]

4. We really shouldn't be picking from Democratic Governors or sitting pols

because having a special election to replace them is too iffy.

[warrior1]

5. Yes lets not take

any member out of the house or senate. We need to get shit done.

[Angry Dragon]

6. NO

[Kelvin Mace]

7. Nope.

Need him in the senate.

If he were younger, I would say Jimmy Carter.

How about Al Gore?

[Cirque du So-What]

8. Why is the SOS necessarily a political figure anyway?

If *I* were Prez, I would seek someone from within State - preferably a career diplomat with good leadership qualities.

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. Can we leave our elected office holders alone this time? We don't need any special election upsets.

The margins in the Senate are too close as it is.

[99Forever]

11. Nope...

... you can't have our Senator. He's too valuable to those of us that worked so hard to get his voice and vote into the Senate.
