What if General Clark and President Gore both run?

[bobbie]

I can't choose between them.

[Karenca]

1. Gore/Clark

Dream ticket

[bobbie]

5. Sort of, but they're both alpha males. And the VP slot is a waste of a great man.

Ain't worth a pitcher of warm spit...or whatever that saying is.

[Uncle Joe]

28. They are both alpa males, however Al Gore

did quite well in subjugating his own pride and ambitions in accepting Clinton's invitation to be his running mate, in spite of his own low opinion of the job. I believe Al did this out of a stronger conviction to serve the nation over his own desires or ego. Personally whenever I viewed a shot of Clinton giving his State of the Union or some other event in front of the cameras and Al was behind him, I thought they should be reversed.


I believe General Clark is capable of the same magnanimity and if Al asked him to be his running mate, I believe the he would accept.

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Gore/Clark

Definitely.

[William769]

3. May the best man win.

[BootinUp]

4. Some people

support more than one candidate in the hope that one of them will make it to the nomination. You can only vote for one though. :)

[hayu_lol]

7. Of the two, my preference would be for Clark...

While Gore has been trotting around the world on environmental issues, Wes Clark has been traveling the country pitching in wherever Dems needed help.

He towers over Gore in: Experience, education, ability, planning capability, and so much more.

[elocs]

33. I like Clark,

but can you honestly say that all of his actions in helping Democrats have been entirely optimistic? Might not he have been helping Democrats as well as aiding his own presidential aspirations?

[renate]

6. gee, what a terrible dilemma to have!

:)

Talk about a win-win...!

[AtomicKitten]

8. Gore/Clark

Both excellent men, experience being the tie-breaker.

[geek tragedy]

9. Clark. Impeccable national security credentials to win

in red states (much like Jim Webb) combined with progressive social agenda.

[bunny planet]

10. Simple solution

Gore/Clark

Unfortunately I think Hillary has Clark in mind as her running mate. No proof, just a feeling.

[bobbie]

11. Oh please go away Hillary. General Clark is by far the best candidate...

'Cept I want President Gore back too. Oh dear.

[Donna Zen]

12. Why? I never bought into this idea

Clark is from Arkansas, a state the Hillary advisers must feel that they have a chance in. Out west, Hillary has nada. Clark at the top of the ticket would do well in the West, but not so much as VP.

Hillary will chose the standard route to VP...someone with a state, and someone who could succeed her.

[FrenchieCat]

13. Could it be you got that feeling from

watching that shortlived tv series in where the woman President had a 4 start General who was described as close to Wes Clark as possible to be her VP? Is that possible?

[bunny planet]

20. no, I never watched it.

Only watch KO, the Daily Show, and HBO

[bobbie]

21. Did they actually mentione Clark by name on the series?

Or make him recognizable by description?

[FrenchieCat]

25. Description....found in wikipedia under fictional character of Warren Keaton...LOL!

Comparison to Wesley Clark
Like General Wesley Clark, Keaton is a former general who attended West Point. Clark ran for President in 2004 as a Democrat and was considered a potential Vice-Presidential candidate after his primary bid failed.

34. Interesting FrenchieCat--thank you.

Wow, they wouldn't even need a white house chef anymore, just a vending machine with Cheetos. :)

[Clark2008]

37. And gummi bears

:7

[acmavm]

14. Damn, what a dilemma. But as much as I love Al, I'd still go for the

General.

[Rageneau]

15. I'll vote for the guy who has never rolled over for the GOP

I like Al Gore, but he jumped off my list of possible candidates when he allowed Harris and Baker and Rove to steal the Florida election (and passed up winning it outright by refusing to acknowledge his debt to Clinton).

Likewise, Kerry will not be my candidate.

There are too many OTHER great Dem candidates out there who have never rolled over for the GOP noise machine. Clark is one of them. I could support Wesley wholeheartedly, and hope to have the chance to.

[bobbie]

22. Well I gotta say that Gore fought really hard, all the way to the supreme court.

I do think he should have pointed out, however, the fact that the GOP disenfranchised African Americans in order to steal the election. He recoiled from that. But he fought hard, while getting almost no support from the Dems.

[MasonJar]

29. Gore did not roll over. The Supreme Court made a decision that

it never should have made.

[democrat_patriot]

16. Clark all the way.

Gore has way too much baggage to be elected. I have moderate friends who still say "Gore? Didn't he invent the internet ha ha ha" GRRR.

Anyway, he would make a great cabinet member in Clark's administration.

[Dinger]

17. Goddamn, I Know What You Mean!

That ticket would be damn hard for anybody to beat! And yes, I consider Al Gore to be PRESIDENT GORE!:patriot:

[Thrill]

18. Clark just looks like a President

I wouldn't mind him winning. Question is could he win Arkansas?

[BootinUp]

19. With a Democratic Gov

that Clark campaigned for, his homestate, you bet.

[against all enemies]

23. You won't have to - Clinton/Richardson

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. ...

:puke:

[NJ Democrats]

24. Of the two I'd pick Gore

But I want Russ!

[laylah]

26. Gore/Clark ticket would ROCK! n/m

[MasonJar]

27. I love Clark, but Gore is my man all the way. Otherwise I am with

the General. I like Gore/Clark.

[dchill]

32. Gore/Clark is a winning ticket...

that effective Tennessee/Arkansas thing again.

[Ikonoklast]

31. President Clark will appoint Al Gore

to the Supreme Court.

Think about it.


Everyone wins.

[MrSlayer]

35. I'd vote for Clark but will accept him as VP on a Gore ticket.

Gore is probably the only candidate I would be ok with voting for above the General in the election. Clark gets my primary vote though for sure.

[Clark2008]

36. GOOD!
