4. Wes Clark, the Hillary booster?
Good one.

I nominate Joe Liebermann as Obama's running mate, to complete the irony.

10. Do you have a valid point, or just feel like being snarky?
Do you really think that if Obama is our nominee, that Wesley Clark wouldn't support him?

Do you think that all Democrats are as snarky as you?

14. Thanks. Hey, I think Wes fits Obama about as well as Lieberman fits Hillary, for real irony.

15. that is the damage that Hillary has inflicted the VP selection will have to
take into account healing what she has done.

He might announce Clark as DOD.

Doesn't make me happy but he will have to do something to fix what Hillary has done.

18. I like him for National Security Adviser or SOS better. He has to be retired 10 yrs for DOD too.
can't remember exactly when he retired though...

2. Well, at least he has some good choices....
Richardson would be a good choice..I'd love to see his short list.

7. And Kennedy could'nt stand Johnson.
And so on. That has nothing to do with choosing a VP.

13. Oops, I meant I personally didn't like him. If Obama wants him as VP
well, obviously he's ok with him. :) If Obama wins, the if is simply obligatory cause it ain't over just yet) I once wanted him to pick Biden, but I hope Biden would stay as a Senator. We need all the Dem Senators we can get so the Democratic President can get something done and we need someone young enough to run in 2016. (uh, I won't be here) John Edwards doesn't want it. I'm beginning to think it might be someone not all that well known. That doesn't make any sense either because he will need a "booster" on the ticket. Hmmm. I need to wait a while for that headache.

How about Hillary? Incoming! Incoming!!!:hide:

Nah, we would still lose a Senator.

8. Sorry won't do! I expect Obama to lock in the nomination any day now.
When that happens, what will happen to GD-P? We have a reputation to maintain here. Sorry is entirely too polite for this forum!

11. Fie on me some days. Not fie on me other days.
I love Bill Richardson. And he'd bring in the west and latinos. And to boot, he's very experienced. I see no downside to him. OTOH maybe somebody like Webb would neutralize McCentury's appeal.
