GOP3 writes: Gov Doyle to ride off in to the sunset as… The head of the Peace Corps?
Word on the street is that Democrat Diamond Jim Doyle will retire to lead the Peace Corps with President Obama’s blessing after bankrupting Wisconsin with all of his new taxes and irresponsible spending. As much fun as it is to dream that Doyle will leave Wisconsin, it appears it may not be true if one is to believe the Journal Sentinel. They sure dug in fast on that one, I suppose they would be unhappy if Doyle left. Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and his wife served as Peace Corps Volunteers in Tunisia in the 1960's.

"We will double the size of the Peace Corps by its 50th anniversary in 2011. And we'll reach out to other nations to engage their young people in similar programs, so that we work side by side to take on the common challenges that confront all humanity," said Barack Obama during his campaign.

PCOL's Candidate for Peace Corps Director
Honduras RPCV Jon Carson, 33, presided over thousands of workers as national field director for the Obama campaign and said the biggest challenge -- and surprise -- was the volume of volunteer help, including more than 15,000 "super volunteers," who were a big part of what made Obama's campaign so successful. PCOL endorses Jon Carson as the man who can revitalize the Peace Corps, bring it into the internet age, and meet Obama's goal of doubling the size of the Peace Corps by 2011.
