Will Dean or Kerry be Clark's VP?
They'd be smart to behave themselves because that's what they're both vying for now.

1. I doubt that either would accept that.
I would think that they consider him a neophyte, at best. Egos like theirs will not bend that far (and that is not meant to be a bash).

4. True they wouldn't like it much but
might accept it if they thought it was their only shot at the presidency in the future. That might be the truth for Dean. Kerry might be too old by then

9. Maybe. LBJ and Poppy bush swallowed their prides,
and accepted what was then a 'nothing' job. But JFK and Ronnie weren't exactly neophytes, so the humiliation was minimal. But I really can't see Kerry doing that; he will almost certainly be the nominee, anyway.

5. It's doubtful that Dean would give up the nomination...
to run as Clark's VP.

6. Untill he starts showing up as leader in NH and Iowa
I am not going to take it too seriously. Right now he is running on name recognition.

7. I'm all for Clark but...
...this seems slightly premature. And given Kerry's negative campaigning, I don't think either Dean or Clark would like Kerry on their tickets.

10. tsk,tsk...Hey MIMstigator, another bandwagon! quick, jump!
you know what happens when you make an assumption...

it makes an ass out of you and umption.

Go on, keep supporting a General for president, that should make the international community take us seriously when we start talking about peace and reconstructing ties with other nations.

pfft

13. OK, that's just ignorant
He was decorated by most of the European governments for services during his stint with NATO. Yeah, forget how NATO is one of the strongest international alliances out there.

11. Okay...I'll Play
Has to be Dean... Kerry's not bringing in new voters, and Clark doesn't need Kerry for enthusiastic party backing, either. Not to say that Dean would bring that...but Clark would.
