Poll Results–12/16/2002

Here are the results of our Secretary of State poll.  Because the respondents were not screened demographically, it is not necessarily representative of they US as a whole.  However it contains no internal bias.

And here are your comments on the poll.

Today (or yesterday), Susan Rice withdrew her name from consideration because she felt it was too distracting and there is a lot to get done. Would she like the job, absolutely but she didn’t think the time was right for the country.

According to the news, that leaves John Kerry and McConjob and other Republican/Teabaggers have stated there won’t be a problem confirming him. Of course not because that leaves his senate seat open and Brown has already said he is revving up for the job. But there is another popular Democrat that, should he choose to run in the special election, has a financial advantage as Brown’s war chest is just under $500,000. Want to bet that Adelson and the Kochs take care of that little matter.

As for Bill Clinton, he has the personality for it and all his peccadilloes are out in the open, as far as we know. Not to mention, that as a former president, he has certain knowledge and skills that are useful. I certainly wouldn’t say that of Baby Bush!

It will be interesting to see who is tapped and how easily the confirmation goes.

Rice

She’s more than qualified, and Kerry should stay in the Senate so Brown won’t be elected from Massachusetts.

Rice, Kerry needs to stay in the Senate.

There has been a lot of negative press about Susan Rice lately. She has a huge monetary investment in the Keystone Pipeline. IMO, Bill Clinton can do no wrong.

I agree with Marva. Susan Rice should change her first name to Condoleeza Rice and she will breeze through the hearings.

Clinton is mesmerizing and he is friends with leaders that no one in the Bush administration could get close to (Kim Jong Il, was one example). Clinton would be a huge asset for any administration. It ought to go to Kerry. But Clinton would be my first choice.

If Obama really wants to get serious, he’s appoint Dennis Kucinich!

OMG Marva, very good suggestion about Rice!

Dennis Kucinich should run for president in 2016, along with Bernie Sanders. They’d get my vote, that’s certain.

I’ve suggested Susan change her first name to Condoleeza and the Republicans would be stupid enough to vote for her since all "those" people look alike to them. Of course, she can change it back to Susan and leave them wandering around with glazed looks wondering what happened.

Brilliant idea, Marva!

It was really closer than I expected.

I voted for Bill Clinton, because I think he is the best suited for the role.  While Susan Rice was clearly qualified, I had reservations because she tends to be an interventionist, and because she has deep financial ties to the Keystone XL Pipeline.  I preferred Kerry to Rice, because he tends to reject intervention in favor of diplomacy.  However, he has a lot od seniority that his state will lose, and I prefer not to give Bought Bagger Brown another shot at a Senate seat in a special election with gargantuan funding from Banksters, the Koch brothers, and other Plutocons and criminals.

In the new poll, be honest, because he knows.
