If Edwards gets VP...

[angryinoville]

and I personally don't want him to, Wes Clark is a shoe in for Sec. of State, right?

[JohnKleeb]

1. a shoe in? I dunno

I am sure Kerry will find somewhere for Clark.

[freetobegay]

2. I have this strange feeling that

Kerrys VP is going to be a surprize to all, somebody we did not expect.

[JI7]

16. that's how it's been in the past few elections

al gore, dick cheney, joe lieberman, even dan quayle i think were those that were not really considered by most people. those who were most talked up ended up not being chosen.

3. SoState or Def or many UN or EU ambassador

lotsa places he can be a great help

[skooooo]

4. why don't you want edwards??

[Thrill]

5. VP will

be John Breaux. Much to the suprise of many folks

[skooooo]

6. ....and he is?

(wish people would type something in situations like this, instead of........)

9. The senior senator of Louisiana who will not be seeking re-election

I consider him a centrist and a compromiser and unfortunately somewhat socially conservative. Others consider him a DINO.

[LandOLincoln]

7. Not a chance. n/t

[angryinoville]

8. Something about Edwards just irks me...

that's all.

[skooooo]

10. because he's a southerner??

perhaps?

[angryinoville]

11. No, I feel like I heard his story too many times...

and it just got under my skin. Besides Lieberman and Gephardt, Edwards and Kerry were my least favorite to listen to.

[skooooo]

12. ..lol..sounds like you didn't like any of them!

[angryinoville]

13. I'm a Dean/Clark/Kucinich guy

I really enjoyed listening to what they had to say. I'm starting to come around on Kerry now. He'll get my vote regardless.

[AP]

14. I'd think it'd be a good thing to have a person on the ticket whose story

was widely heard.

It shows that it has the power of resonance.

[JI7]

15. no, Holbrooke is most likely sec of state

[salonghorn70]

17. Clark As Secretary of State

Doesn't Clark have to be out of the military for a certain number of years before he can serve in the cabinet?

[JohnKleeb]

18. only for secretary of defense I think

[King of New Orleans]

19. I think Holbrooke will be Sec of State too

I think Clark will be in the administration however, possibly as head of the NSA.

I do like the idea of Edwards as VP. I just think he has the skills to be a big political asset to the ticket.

[GreenInNC]

20. imo

None of the former potential nominees will get any positions in Kerry's cabinet.

[salonghorn70]

21. Why Do You think That?

They are all out working strong for Kerry.

[King of New Orleans]

22. It is rare for former oponents

in the primary to end up in the cabinet, but I think this year's group will be at somewhat different
