Washington Post says Dean has asked Clark to join his campaign [View All]

This sounds crazy, I know...but here it is. There is a chance that Clark may join with Dean as an obvious VP choice this early which would really be crazy. I don't know what to think. I know there are some supporters of Dean who will say this is great and otehrs who will worry. Whatever the benefits, there are bound to be risks in asking a candidate to essentially join your ticket when you aren't even the nominee yet. Trippi has told Newsweek he thinks this campaign could be over before the first vote is cast if the Dr. can keep raising money like he has.

Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean has asked retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark to join his campaign, if the former NATO commander does not jump into the race himself next week, and the two men discussed the vice presidency at a weekend meeting in California, sources familiar with the discussions said.

Clark, in a telephone interview yesterday, said he did not want to comment about the private meeting. Asked about reports that the two men had discussed a wide range of issues, including endorsing Dean, joining the campaign, possible roles in a Dean administration and the vice presidency, he said only, "It was a complete tour of the horizon."
