Why not Howard Dean for Sec. of Health and Human Services?

Now that Daschle is out of the picture, everyone is wondering who Obama will put up for Secretary of Health and Human Services. If it were my choice, I'd go straight to Howard Dean.

Dean is, first of all, a Physician and knows the health field from the inside. Has head of the Democratic Party his 50 State Stratey was a masterpiece of organization and one of the reasons Obama carried so many states that were previously in the Republican Column.

Dean is intelligent, articulate and a real presence when he appears on television or at rallies.

Now, as I understand it, there's friction between Dean and Rahm Emmanuel that ha to be overcome, but Rahm's personal crap should not be standing in the way of a real position in the Administration for Dean, who, after all his work, has been really, and insultingly, overlooked.

Howard Dean (0.00 / 0)
The political insiders keep saying Howard Dean is too partisan, which in Washington-speak apparently means he doesn't cave to Republicans and corporations like Daschle did.

Jay Rockefeller (0.00 / 0)
Jay Rock does appear to greatly care about the healthcare issues and he had some sage advice back in the early 1990s to Hillary Clinton when the Clinton admin. tried to reform healthcare. My concern is he listened too much to the telcos on their illegal wiretapping for the Bush admin. so how can we trust him not do listen too much to the health insurance cos. and other opponents to reform?

Carnacki, you need look no further than the "health right" organizations for uninsured/underinsured workers in West Virginia to know Senator Rockefeller's commitment to public health.
