I'm no fan of the two-party system. So why do we have to wait and conform to the "president/vp" model, at any point? What if we, as progressives, just got our shite together and offered a full package?
I'm assuming that our progressive/democratic candidates will put ego aside. Maybe that's naive.
More savvy folks might read below the fold?
But what if we presented something like this to the American people:
Presidential candidate: Al Gore.
Vice presidential candidate: Hillary Clinton
This ticket would ensure the following:
Attorney General: Ralph Nader
Defense Secretary: Wes Clark
Secretary of State: Bill Clinton
National Security Advisor: Richard Clarke
Secretary of the Interior: Bill Richardson
What if the demos (read: opposition party) just presented a team, rather than this bullshit system we have of media exploitation?
Obviously, I'm going to vote one way, but why not present an actual package to lead this country out of the mess we're in?
