Reply #6: Let me clarify this a bit-

My guy is Kucinich. I know he's FAR LEFT. Ok, so for a VP slot, I want him to pick someone a bit more centrist than he is. Why? To reassure the centrists they're still being spoken for, and to ensure the whole country doesn't think electing him would be a sudden downfall into "socialism, communism, etc.".

I say he ought to ask Clark to run as his VP. Between the two they could easily justify cutting the Pentagon budget, and Clark could say "Look, Dennis, here's where we're going to have to give a little to get most of what we want.". I like the combo because Clark is left without being percieved as "fringe", AND because he knows what it's like to live a bipartisan life overall. It's NOT easy! LOL
