Reply #114: Of course no flaming over something like that

[Tom Rinaldo]

I will always hold that Clark would have been our best candidate for President, but I would never flame someone for thinking he should have sought VP instead- because he had never run before or whatever. Neither do I think I should be flamed if I said that Dean would have been better for VP, because he didn't have enough national security experience to run for the top during a war, or for any other reason. These are simply disagreements. They can be passionate disagreements, but that is all that they are. We both have great respect for both men and I would have swung in hard behind a Dean - Clark Ticket and I am sure you would have done the same behind a Clark - Dean ticket. Hell I worked hard for a Kerry - Edwards ticket, but I admit the passion was lacking. Kerry's stance around "voting irregularities" and his tip toeing around them reminds me of his stance around the Iraq war, and that reminds me of why I respect men like Clark and Dean.
