Reply #47: I think Clark is too much of an unknown. [View All]

I think Edwards can do fairly well even with a Clark entry.
The Dean/Kerry nonsense clears the way for Edwards, and if Clark and Dean split the anti-war vote, Edwards again may benefit from that--but I see Clark as steamrolling over everyone (today, that's my perception).

Edwards' best thing is that he's so consistent, and he's been so on message...it's such a pleasure to see someone so focused on what he's supposed to be focusing on.

But Clark is an unknown--there's so much discussion about him from both sides, but right now there are *no* specifics. For all we know, he *is* an FDR liberal. After all, he taught economics at West Point.

Sometimes I feel so bad for Edwards, he deserves better. I don't know why so many are sure he's been offered VP (anyone want to enlighten?), and I don't think is true. I almost wish it were though--it would be a crime to let him go off into the night. Eh, but then the next day I'm sure he'll pull it out.

On edit:
This is supposed to be in reply to your other post on FDR vs. Eisenhower, but....
