Reply #26: I think Clark could seriously help the ticket foreign policy-wise

[tameszu]

as a member of Kerry's shadow cabinet, in the same way Powell (sadly) helped W.

The main reason I believe what I do is that Clark seems much more engaged when he's talking about ideas, like his Office of International Development, rather than about politics. And the Veep at this point is all about politics, not about ideas (except for Cheney, who's effectively become the country's Prime Minister).
