As a fellow fan of Wesley Clark, I hear what you're saying. Sometimes I wonder if a ticket including Clark and Edwards (take your pick on the order) wouldn't be the best idea. I'm a real admirer of Wesley Clark, as I believe him to be a true American hero and someone with a great deal of integrity and courage.

With things as they are, I'd really like to see Clark as our Secretary of Defense. He has miles of credibility in the position, and he is known and respected by many world leaders. If it weren't for Bill Clinton, I think he'd make a great Secretary of State too.

I can see how you think this stuff is fluffy, but it also covers the vast majority of what matters to the majority of voters in this election.

Let's call in Wesley Clark and have lengthy interviews with him. Let him draft 2 or 3 weekly addresses between now and election day on issues that he deems important, and let him read them. I'm all for that.

But let's also be happy that we've got such an articulate voice on the ticket for the bread-and-butter, "kitchen table" issues that are of such paramount importance to so many workaday families in this country.
