Clark Said: "I won't be Dean's Cheney." Could He Salute to Kerry ?

[Raya]

I’m watching the Clark rally.

General Clark in answer to whether he would be Howard’s Dean’s V.P said he would not be Dean’s Dick Cheney? He said “We tried that model, with George Bush. It doesn’t work.”

Does the same apply to Kerry should Kerry beat him to the nomination?

Anyone have info on this?

Also, would Clark really help Kerry in the South or do you need an accent like Edwards or Hollings to make a difference?

1. When was Cheney a General

4. His point was that the "Experience would be at the bottom" of the ticket

2. If Clark were Dean's Cheney...

Wouldn't that put him in charge?

3. You've Got The Order Wrong Honey

Kerry will be lucky if he gets to be President of the Senate.

5. Why snipe at Kerry that way in a thread posing a

question about the likelihood of Clark agreeing to run for VP if Kerry's the nominee?

All ticket predictions are hypothetical at this point, but Kerry has won Iowa and is leading in NH, so it's not unthinkable that he could be the nominee.

6. clark has stated

that he doesn't want to be VP at all. he got into this race to be president, not vice. As far as the ticket goes I'm seeing either Kerry/Edwards (young old contrast) or Clark/Edwards (2 southerners like clinton/gore) or Edwards/Graham or Dean/Graham. but they could always pick someone out of the blue as well.

[Raya]

7. Edwards has said the same think. Clark seem to respect Kerry.

Am I wrong. Any Clark insiders online?

8. Look This might not be an issue. Dean's rising again

[MoonRiver]

9. I want Clark on the ticket, preferably first.

But I seriously doubt he'll go for VP. He's trying his best to bring sanity back to our country by doing something he and Gert had deep reservations about, running for president. I think they'll go back to a normal life if Democrats can't get a clue and recognize what a wonderful gift he is to our party and country.

15. Yup

He MIGHT ride shotgun for JFK, but that would be it, and it's a longshot. He got in the race to change the country - rescue it from *. He can't really do that for the 2nd chair, and in fact being VP would be a major step down from being NATO SACEUR. I don't see this happening.

Also, JFK has attacking Clark pretty vigorously, kinda burning that bridge even if Wes were amenable.

[WiseMen]

16. I have never seen any major attack from Kerry, any link?

10. Yuck

what a nasty thing to say

[kstewart33]

11. Yep, that's nasty

Clark is saying he won't prop Dean up. Ouch.

[GalleryGod]

12. And Why Should He? It would Demean HIS Career Achievements

to play 2nd Banana to Howard "Screech" Dean.:puke:

[otohara]

13. Oh I Understand, It's Just The

language he used. Incredibly nasty tone

But this is from a guy who had absolutely no problem taking money from mediawhore's at CNN and now says "he couldn't speak out as forcefully", he wasn't a politician then?

[w4rma]

14. He should quit saying that. It makes him sound egocentric. (n/t)
