Its time to relaunch "DRAFT CLARK". . .for VP
While Hillary and Barack fight it out and I'm pulling for Obama, I do not want to see EITHER AS VP. The best VP prospect for either candidate is Wesley Clark. End of story. Wes Clark for VP regardless of who is at the top of the ticket.

1. I think he'd be an excellent choice for VP
but, I'm not sure how well he'd play with Obama since he endorsed Hillary a while back.

And, I'm not sure if picking a VP from Arkansas would go over well with the Clinton ties to Arkansas.

3. Personally, I think that works. . .
. . .Clark's endorsement and connection to Hillary might make it easier for her supporters to accept Obama at the top of the ticket if the General is his VP.

4. Hm.
Maybe the only way an Obama/Clark ticket could actually happen is at a brokered convention. That is, the camps hammer out an agreement where someone from the Clinton camp gets on the ticket to represent their side, but not HRC herself. A very very very long shot, of course!

As for Clinton/Clark, I don't see the problem. Winning Arkansas would be a great thing!!

outstanding Secretary of State.

6. Yeah but a Secretary of State is not on the ticket
So I'm thinking we need him on the ticket as VP.

7. He would be much more valuable
"politically" as the VP candidate no doubt. We will need an incredible talent at state to cleanup the bushrice abomination in foreign affairs.

11. I think it's such a great idea that I started a web site
Well a blog actually on my.barackobama.com.
http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/WesleyClarkVP
Come to visit and send me a message if you like it.

BTW, I requested to form a Wesley Clark for Vice President group on mybarackobama and they turned me down :(
Can you believe it!
