Reply #48: The two most qualified for VP [View All]

...are Graham and Clark. I prefer Clark in this position if he is not the presidential candidate. If Clark were the presidential candidate the critical need for a national security/intelligence expert in the number two spot is not there and almost any of the other candidates would be suitable as VP as long as they brought enough votes in. I would completely distrust Lieberman in the number two spot. I think he would work to undermine the democratic President and try to block any changes in foreign policy. As president he would be a complete diaster.

Kerry could do the number two spot, but I don't think he has the ability to control the national security establishment (Without help from Graham or Clark). I think that Dean would be undermined as well without a strong defense/intelligence insider at the VP office.

IMHO
