Please let it be Clark or Biden

[Rosa Luxemburg]

Please?

[Bucky]

1. Let it be... let it be-eee... let it be, oh, let beee...

There will be an answer, let it be....

[cliffordu]

2. Yep.

[bdamomma]

3. but Clark is not on the short list.

[bullwinkle428]

8. Does anyone know with 100% certainty who actually is on the "short list"?

[stray cat]

10. Obama - the rest is all speculation

[Qutzupalotl]

9. I'm starting to think that is a feint

to throw off the attack dogs until the announcement.

But I will admit I'm often delusional.

[CakeGrrl]

19. Even the short list is speculation

The MSM is guessing like everyone else trying to use process of elimination. The Obama camp has not given anyone any definitive "yes"s or "no"s to work with.

Hoping it's a Clark surprise - if it can't be Gore. :-)

[Rosa Luxemburg]

41. I wonder who the GOP think it is going to be?

what are they preparing I wonder?

[cascadiance]

36. WHY? And Richardson in my book should also be on it!

They are both FAR BETTER than the "talked about" field now.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

39. I'm surprised Richardson wasn't mentioned

[Qutzupalotl]

4. Clark is conspicuously absent from the convention schedule.

Perhaps he is a dark horse. It would certainly knock McCain out of the running in most swing states.

[Dinger]

12. Can You Imagine The Talking Heads?

God, that's pay-per-view material if you ask me!


:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. McCain would have a hard time selling his wars

[bdamomma]

21. oof I would love Obama throw a curve to the media and really

shake them up.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. he's coming back!

after his visit from Europe to the convention (there's another post on this)

fingers crossed!

[Qutzupalotl]

23. Thanks, I just now saw that other thread.

Let's hope his business in Europe can be finished up by, say, Wednesday!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

26. YES!

although the VP was supposed to be with Barack on Saturday?

[Qutzupalotl]

28. Satellite, baby!

Here's hoping, anyway!

[Tom Rinaldo]

42. It just takes a little trans Atlantic commuting

Inconvenient true, but under the circumstances...

[Dinger]

5. Heavy On The Clark!

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[Muttocracy]

6. I really really hope it's one of those two. nt

[bullwinkle428]

11. My two favorites as well!!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[BklynChick]

7. please, baby. please. I agree.

[elehhhhna]

14. same here

[flamingdem]

15. The Russia Thingy makes this imperative, a candidate with foreign policy experience needed nt

[Brotherjohn]

22. And Clark has a lot of experience in that part of the world. nt

[Qutzupalotl]

27. And speaks Russian, IIRC

(I don't always RC.)

[flamingdem]

33. Hey I wish it was him but he's not what Obama described in his hints imo nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

43. Fabulous!

[fadedrose]

48. That would certainly be Biden.... nt

[polichick]

16. Either one of them would work for me - but Clark would really surprise the msm. heh heh

[Brotherjohn]

29. Yes, and McCain. I think it would be great if Obama shocked everyone, defied convention.

Clark would leave them reeling until after November. And the Russia point above is well-taken.

[Dinger]

30. Reeling Indeed!

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[question everything]

17. Amen!

Whether people like it or not, Obama has no demonstrated experience in foreign policy. Clark or Biden can talk about any issue.

[bdamomma]

25. * had/has no foreign experience either.

[underseasurveyor]

35. That's why they have *Advisor's*

What Obama 'may' lack in experience he surely makes up for it with common sense, insight and judgment. Lack of experience does not equate to ignorance.

Now bush... not only did he lack foreign policy experience he's completely ignorant.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

38. Obama has experience

he has put forward some good bills including the bipartisan non proliferation legislation. He is on the foreign relations committee. However, a military would be complimentary.

[underseasurveyor]

40. Yea I know

That's why I said, 'may' lack, because I don't believe he does lack in that area, but since many others do if they are reassured that that's why presidents have advisor's most will say, oh yea that's true, and they feel more confident about it.

[monmouth]

18. Oh this would be delicious. Pundits heads exploding, Buchanan stuttering....n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. Absolutely delicious!

[progressoid]

37. God I hope so.

Nothing better than watching those talking heads trip over their tongues.

[tokenlib]

31. I'll go half way with you--Clark gives a spark to the change theme...

..and would keep it intact. Biden fails my litmus test.

[Dinger]

34. Clark Gives Obama Someone Who Represent Change AND Experience!

Damn, it just keeps getting better!


:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[fadedrose]

32. Afraid to be disappointed again

After the MI failed primary and Hillary's holding on to whatever power she has to blackmail Obama into the VP slot (something I've never seen the likes of since I started to vote for John Kennedy in 1960), politics is starting to suck...then there's John Edwards, or, WAS John Edwards...."A'll work for chew if yewl voat for me"...it was hard to listen to him say "A" instead of "I" all the time. Most politicians from the south have mastered the word "I," as they should if they expect to run for a national office, tho I do like the genteel southern accent of many politicians.

I'd love Biden, but fear finding out something about him I didn't know...am always nervous about the next shoe to fall, whoever's it might be.

[JuniperLea]

44. CLARK!!! He's just what Obama needs!

Strong military background, well spoken and not afraid to tell it like it is. Obama and Clark would be unstoppable.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

46. unstoppable you are right!

[Eurobabe]

45. puhlease

[WA98296]

47. Clark, Clark, Clark...Pleasssssseeeeeee!!!

[Dinger]

Please, Please, Pretty Please!

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[Naturyl]

49. Clark and Biden are my favorite possibilities, too.

And it could very well be Biden. So all is good.
