No matter what, I bet Wes Clark will be campaigning for Obama. Clark is a...

[Bread and Circus]

team player and I think he'd be a great asset on the campaign trail. Defense and patriotism (the real kind) were two of his signature issues in 2004.

Being someone who backed Clark and Obama, I'd be happy to see him at least hit the trail to get Obama elected.

1. General CLARK should be the only choice for Secretary of State

regardless of who the candidate is. And yes, General Clark is a team player and a very fine citizen and human being. In other words he wouldn't be a typical Obama supporter on DU.

3. I think that Richardson has a better chance at SOS.

Clark maybe as Secretary of Homeland Security.

[Dinger]

4. Touché BOSSHOG

Touché my friend.:)

[Adelante]

6. I beg your pardon?

"And yes, General Clark is a team player and a very fine citizen and human being. In other words he wouldn't be a typical Obama supporter on DU."

I consider myself a fine citizen and human being :shrug:

[BOSSHOG]

7. Maybe. Just Maybe

I've gotten sick and fucking tired of wading through the tons of excrement dumped on DU on a daily basis by those calling themselves Obama supporters.

More recently I've had to wade through posts of Obama supporters who are the NOT ME ghost found on the Family Circle cartoon.

[Adelante]

9. Well, fuck you, too, then nt

[Tom Rinaldo]

17. You are indeed

As are the vast majority of Obama supporters, unlike a small minority of Clinton supporters. In other words; in the real world both camps are mostly full of good people, good Democrats who want what is best for our country and the world.

8. Why don't we stop the nasty remarks now??I know you probably

heartsick over your candidate losing the primaries...I have been there before this primary and know what it feels like...but I think that both sides should stop making nasty remarks and get on with the GE..

[BOSSHOG]

10. Thats rich

MY CANDIDATE (General Clark) did not lose one primary. NOW. NOW. We should stop with the nastiness. I suggest you direct your remarks and strongly encourage you to do so to those who say they support Obama. The one's whose goal for the past six months was to alienate anyone who does not vote for their candidate in a primary. Good Luck. Outstanding Unity idea and a great way to win an election.

[LiberalAndProud]

15. I don't think they'd listen to my pleas.

Some of the stuff I read here makes me cringe. If the Offenders would STFU if I told them to, I would. I think it would just encourage the vitriol. I know, it looks like EVERY Obama supporter thinks Hillary is the Worst Person In The World if you read this board. At some points during this campaign I've been furious with Clinton, but I still think she's a remarkable woman and a stand-up Dem.

And what's more, BOSSHOG, I think
:yourock:

[Bread and Circus]

16. No one on this board of either camp has went any lower than Lanny Davis, Terry McAuliffe, et al.

The highest standard we hold should be for the candidate's campaigns themselves, unfortunately Clinton set a low bar.

[Schema Thing]

2. Yep...

I'm guessing he'll actually do more campaigning for Obama than he has for Hillary.

He's been rather quiet the past few months.

[Adelante]

5. Of course, he will

:patriot:

Any Obama supporters who may have doubts will be greatly surprised by the energy Wes Clark puts behind our nominee.

[Thrill]

11. Every Democrat should be out there fighting hard for the nominee

[PoliticalAmazon]

12. Clark is a loyal Clinton supporter . I would not trust him on the campaign trail....

With the amount of time he has spent supporting the Clintons, IMO it would be naive to think that he would not still be doing their bidding while working for Obama.

I just don't think it's a risk we can take.

JMO, your mileage may vary.

[mystieus]

13. He's too close to the clintons for my liking, We need a VP that carries Obama message.

[Tom Rinaldo]

18. Do you remember Stephanie Power?

She was the Obama adviser who had to resign after calling Clinton a "monster" without saying it was off the record in time. She also happens to be a fine human being in general. She also happens to have strongly backed Clark in 2004.

We can't keep thinking like there is a permanent split into two warring camps on the Democratic side that carries forward from here. The Republicans are our adversaries. Wes Clark is a loyal to the Democratic Party but more than that he is loyal to the American people, way before Hillary and Bill Clinton.

[PoliticalAmazon]

19. Don't think there's a permanent split. I do think we don't need to invite...

the snakes into the egg house, though.

If, after a few years, Clark has proven himself to be not a loyal Clinton toady, then (IMO)take a chance. But to immediately, right out of a very acrimonious primary, where Hillary used such pig-slop tactics, and Clark loyally supported her in it, to put him as a VP or cabinet position would be ill advised.

Clark made his choice of who he thought would make the best president, and it wasn't Obama, and he loyally supported the Clintons in their Bush/Rove tacitcs. I think this shows Clark to be extremely out of step with Obama, what OBama stands for, and what OBama wants to do in D.C.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. He's 0-2.

Himself in 2004.
Hillary in 2008.

Note: I'm 1-2. That gives me immunity over Wes Clark. :woohoo:
