Wesley Clark for Secretary of Defense!
At the present time, my favorite candidates are Dennis Kucinich, Howard Dean and Wesley Clark. Dean is obviously the front runner, but I favor Kucinich on the issues. At any rate, if one of these individuals gets the nomination, we'd certainly like to see one of the others chosen as his running mate, right?

Well, how about all three? For me, an all-star team would consist of Kucinich (President), Dean (Vice President) and Wesley Clark as Secretary of Defense. Kucinich couldl easily kick Bush's ass on the issues, Dean could fire both barrels at Dick Cheney (who hasn't received nearly enough criticism), and Clark could lead a charge against Donald Dumsfeld. Either that, or he could replace America's #1 Uncle Tom, Colin Powell.

1. That's not even pragmatic....
the people you have assigned to positions is a fantasy maybe......

Clark as President.....Kucinich as VP.....and Dean as Sec of Health could work!

3. hopefully Dean won't get the nom but if he does
he's all but required to chose Clark as his veep, because he would be in a desperate need for foreign policy and military credibility, in the campaign.

It's my belief that Dean could pick Jesus Christ as his vp and he still wouldn't win 60 electoral votes, but that doesn't mean he isn't going to make the most sensical vp choice, which would be Clark

will make America a great place.

5. I hope that the Democratic nominee
I hope that the Democratic nominee announces that he will ask Wesley Clark to be the next Secretary of Defense. Clark would be great for that position.

8. I haven't studied the candidates that closely, and I seldom watch TV,
but I saw Clark on David Letterman a few days ago. I made a generally favorable impression on me, but I thought he sounded a little rehearsed and a bit phony. I would hope that Kucinich and Dean are both better speakers, though it really shouldn't take much to kick Dubya's butt in a debate. Anything better than Al Snore ought to do the trick.

9. Clark has the skills for a few positions
That's another reason why he should be president.

11. Regardless of position, we can all agree (or at least most of us)
that we want Wes Clark in the next administration. President, Vice President, Secretary or State, Secretary of Defense or Head of the Department of Homeland Security (God I HATE that phrase).

If Wes can serve in any capacity, it'll mean there's a Dem in the White House and I'll be a happy camper.
