Howard Dean being considered for the Department of Health and Human Services?
Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 06:28 PM by Cleita
Amy Goodman just mentioned it. Is it true? Please make it be true. That would be awesome, a real doctor, who recognizes the need for Universal Health care and was able to partially do it in Vermont when he was Governor. Please make it so.

3. Well, it's being reported quite a bit that he's a possible HHS Sec
but it's also reported that Daschle wants it too, and Daschle is much more of an Obama insider.

Dean would make a good Sec for all the reasons you mention, and also because he's successfully managed large budget and organizations.

7. No to Daschle
Daschle is too weak, Howard has balls.
