I'd love to see Joe in the Bush cabinet, he's by far the best the Dems have to offer! I don't think we should do it just to get another Senate seat though, and I think Joe wouldn't do it if that was the intent. I'd be happy with a conservative Dem (one that wouldn't filibuster) being tabbed to replace him.
All that said, I doubt it will happen, just because of all the spin that would come out targeting both the Bush team for trying to pick off a D seat and at Joe for becoming a "traitor" to his party.
You can bet Mr. Rove came up with this idea! Joe would be perfect for the job (a lightening rod...so to speak) and it would also allow a Rep. gain.
I concur!
Go Joe
Just remind that same "D" party that it was AL GORE who stabbed Joe in the back by backing Howard Dean instead of Joe during the run up to the dems primary! I'd personally rather see Rudy in DHS, but we'll see!
I agree, have all the sane Democrats on the Republican side and leave all the crazies to run the party into the ground. Sounds like a plan to me!
