Well, this is the opposite way I envisioned it, but interesting all the same. Eric
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080402/ap_on_el_pr/obama_gore Democrat Barack Obama said Wednesday he talks regularly with former vice president Al Gore and would consider putting him in a Cabinet-level position or higher. A woman at a town hall asked the Illinois senator if elected president would he consider tapping the former vice president for his Cabinet, or an even higher level office, to address global warming. "I would," Obama said. "Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gorewill be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how wesolve this problem. He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I'malready consulting with him in terms of these issues, but climate change is real. It is something we have to deal with now, not 10 years from now, not 20 years from now." The only position higher than a Cabinet post is vice president.While Obama seemed to dangle that possibility in his answer Wednesday,he has repeatedly said it is far too early to discuss potential vicepresidents because the nomination has not been won. It is also not clear that Gore, who had the job for eight years under Bill Clinton, would even want to be a vice president again. ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
