Reply #19: how about Wes Clark ?

[JI7]

i see both positives and negatives for Kerry ticket with both Clark and Edwards as vp, but in different areas. the positives concerning edwards isn't really based on "logic" though.

it's much easier to say what clark would bring to the ticket, which is obviously national security/foreign policy experience. i know edwards would not bring this but i still think FOR KERRY edwards might be the best choice. when i think of who would be best vp i base it on who is best for kerry not just who will be best vp which is probably why i think edwards might be best. for example, while i see Kerry/Edwards as one of the best tickets at this point, i don't see Edwards/Kerry ticket being as good even though i know Kerry would make a good vp. this is kind of how i feel with Kerry/Clark. i know clark would be a very good vp, but i think the Kerry/Edwards ticket is stronger. in the end Kerry will decide based on what he thinks will help him get elected. this is why i can see why evan bayh may be considered. but understand that some reports say he hasn't even really started vp search yet. i think it's better at this point anyways, kerry needs to work on his agenda and just presenting himself at this point.

i don't have 1 clear favorite, but i have a few top ones that i see as good choices.i also like to read different analysis of different candidates and why they would be good or bad even though it will only matter what Kerry does in this area in the end. and my picks are based more on what will help get Kerry elected more than who will make a good vp.
