    Any Arizona Democrat can warm a seat in the Senate. Kelly can do much more for the Democratic party at the national level than at the Arizona level. His background is too appealing to leave him at the state.

        Not a terrible idea, but he’s got the same sort of background and national recognition, and could be put to better work at the federal level.

        I’d put Scott in the cabinet. He’s qualified to serve as Secretary of Interior (the department that NASA falls under) or Sec Def. Or, we could signal that instead of eliminating Education like the GOP wants, President Kelly deems it so important that he wants his twin brother to look after it when he can’t.

        Or, if we don’t want to give him a department, Chief of Staff: he can run the day to day operations of Mark’s White House.
