As I say it is early and don't know if he is going to run or not. USA Today says he wants to "stay active", but Clark might be a good choice. From Arkansas, military background, magnetic personality, good speaker, and politically alot like Clinton.

I was for Howard Dean in '04, but right now I feel he would be best serving the party as DNC Chairman, but I might still be peraudable for Dean if he did run again.

I do think Clark might want to explore running for Gov of Arkansas in 2006, to demonstrate his electability before running for President.

I still think a Clark/Dean ticket would be potential dynamite.

1. Governor yes
president? not yet. I don't think Clark would be good for what we need in 2008. Then again, if he gets himself elected governor, it could work.

2. My analysis:
I think John Edwards is the man. He has a message people can connect to, and that could make him the next Clinton or FDR.

3. Whoever it is, it needs to be someone with an uncomplicated persona.
It has to be someone people look at and think, "yes, I understand this person's motivations and personality."

6. Clark/Dean.... Clark/Obama.... it's all good.
On the one hand, the AR governorship would certainly be a feather in his cap, and he could do amazing things in even one year... but I wonder if it is just too short a time? He'd need to run for prez for a full two years.
