    How the might have fallen.

    15 years ago, RFK was a "star."

    Obama considers stars for Cabinet

    Obama’s transition planners are weighing several other celebrity-level political stars for Cabinet posts, including retired Gen. Colin L. Powell for secretary of defense or education, the officials said.

    Kennedy’s cousin, Caroline Kennedy, who helped Obama lead his vice presidential search, is being considered for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, although some Obama officials doubt she would take the post. Obama is indebted to the Kennedy family for a hearty endorsement at a crucial point in the Democratic primaries.

    The selection of Kennedy would be a shrewd early move for the new presidential team. Obama advisers said the nomination would please both Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.).

        Was he known for being a nutcase back when Obama didn't appoint him?

        I was only joking

          But yeah, considering RFK for pretty much anything is a big no-no in my book.

            But the personal charm of Ron deSantis coupled with the careful sanity of RFK Jnr. seems like such a winning combination.

              Yeah, that’s an eyebrow raising statement

                @Mik said in "Come on, Ron DeSantis!":

                Umm.... that wasn't RFK.

                  RFK has probably gotten nuttier since then. At least, publicly nuttier. As for DeSantis, clear politics and vote grabbing. He'll do that.

                  Education is extremely important.

                    DeSantis needs to generate buzz. This is all this is.
