BLOG #3 - What IF?

After watching the Bloomberg/Washington Post GOP Debate last evening it occurred to me that, if it were constitutional feasible, wouldn't it be interesting to elect all eight contenders and let them appoint each office? Here would be my pick: For President Newt Gingrich, undoubtedly the most capable of the lot and with real solutions; Rick Santorium as Vice-President as there is no other place for him; Mitt Romney Secretary of State (to deal with China); Treasury Ron Paul (so he could straighten out the Federal Reserve); Herman Cain at Commerce (but will miss his 999 Plan as a prelude to the Fait Tax Act); at Justice would have to be Michele Bachmann (her experience as a Mom will be hel[ful there); Rick Perry at Energy (he will get the domestic oil pouring from Texas to Alaska); as for Jon Huntington I would suggest sending him back to Utah to help his brother run the famiuly business. Note that there is no mention for Defense. This is because there is no one in the eight for this position. My "outside" pick would be General David Petraeus and change the names, as George Washington did, to the War Department. I would also bring the CIA under the War Department. Note there is no Department of Education, Health, Housing or Welfare. This new government will let Amendment X take care of them by the States and the People!  Well this was a nice dream!
