Reply #132: No - he didn't.

He has said he'll be no one's Dick Cheney. He doesn't want the job of VP. It's a waste of his talent skill and he knows it. The only thing a VP with tons of FP skills could do would be to act like another Dick Cheney and Clark feels the VP position shouldn't do that.

Clark, if not president, would have been better suited for Secretary of State. And since you seem so uninformed, I'll go ahead and tell you that Clark CANNOT be Secretary of Defense. The rule is that the Def. Sec. has to have been out of military service for 10 years. Clark retired in 2000. He couldn't have been Def. Sec. for Kerry and he can't be Def. Sec. for any Dem president in 2008. He's ineligible until 2010.
