methinks clark is not selfish enough to say no the VP spot if dean ended up being the nominee. and i'm sure the clarkies would be happy to at least have their guy on the ticket.


i know i can say i'd be happy, were the situation reversed.

Clark seems to be an utter babe in the woods when it comes to politics.

clark supporters are now wondering why clark has a gender gap. so ironic. they used to bash dean for having a gender gap. their claim used to be that "security moms" would come flocking to clark because he would make them feel more secure.

I'm not so sure you'd want Clark on the ticket at this point.

my early support for Graham as Veep has faded given what I now know about his role in authoring the PATRIOT Act

which part did he write was objectionable? he didnt write the whole thing.

dean has said only parts of the patriot act are unconstituional. he didnt say he would get rid of it entirely.

i would need to know which part he wrote before denouncing graham.

Yeah, I'm not sure at all what Clark was thinking there -- clearly he was not. A simple "I am currently engaged in running for President and have no plans to be anyone's VP candidate" would have sufficed.

I like Clark, but I really fear someone who would make such an obvious rookie political mistake.

What part of the Patriot Act did Graham write?

Right now, even though Graham is more conservative than me, I'd rather have Graham as VP than Clark. At least Graham has been a verifiable Democrat for decades, knows the Congress, and has strong security experience. Graham would be more of a help to Dean than Clark, the civilian political neophyte and shapeshifting political opportunist.

Dean is clearly the most qualified candidate. I was very impressed how he handled the first question he asked of all the other candidates. Had them dead to rights on the issue of party unity.That being said. Clark is still my second choice. I think if Clark wasn't encumbered by his crap campaign staff he'd be doing a lot better. I still like the guy on his own. I can understand if he has to stay on topic (his bid for POTUS) but I hope it doesn't become ugly. Meanwhile GO DEAN GO!

The Washington Post has an article Clark Rules Out Joining Dean Ticket in which he says ""I don't want to be Howard Dean's Dick Cheney"

I think Dean would be more of a George Herbert Walker Bush to Clark's domestic policy "Dan Quayle"-ness.
