I like Clark but he was a really awful candidate and i am not sure how much he would really help the ticket.  But if polls showed he could help carry AR i would support this.

for the sake of equality, I'd suggest either removing the word "General" or adding the equivalent titles (Governor, Senator, etc) to the other options.

And I hope you understand Bill Clinton's not eligible :-)

I love Clark theoretically, but he really stank on the campaign trail.  

remove Obama from ticket and change your poll

If the VP doesn't believe the P crossed the "CIC threshold", the VP has no place on the P's ticket.

Me thinks it's a good choice, it would balance Obama's perceived weaknesses. I could live with it.  There has also been talk of Obama/Powell.

Obama needs Ted Strickland. Without Ohio, Obama loses. Even with Ohio, he faces an electoral vote challenge.

The best choice would be Hillary, but I'm not holding my breath that Obama or party leaders will recognize that in light of the Democrat's history of presidential losses.

But I am afraid that others will perceive it as an admission that Obama is weak on military/international issues.  I would also like to see if his addition could run up the favorables in any of the states under contention.

Next I like Sebelius, however I also think that too many people will perceive her to be a replacement for Clinton.  

My least favorite would be Hillary, mostly because I believe her addition to the ticket would both kill a ton of crossover votes (Republicans have been sucking on the teat of Clinton hate for a generation) and because it might energize dead enders like my Dad to come out and vote against her.

That's funny - they'll take a supporter to try and demonstrate unity but God forbid they ask her.

I am more and more convinced everyday that there is a serious ego problem behind the scenes...

Loser ticket!  How many votes did Hillary get? Over 15,000,000! Ignore that and I'm looking at Senator Obama on November 5th!

and great foreign policy experience.  He's also gotten better as a speaker and debater with his stint on (shudder) Fox.  He would also counter any perceived McCain military strength.

I think McCain may pick Condi Rice as his VP.  So does that change anything?  Not really.  But these decisions aren't made in a vacuum.  

I'm not sure that we want Clark showing up Obama when it comes to national security credentials. I think I'm leaning more toward Strickland or Bayh right now.

Obama needs to win in either Florida or Ohio plus win in the states Kerry won in 2004 to become our next president.  If he picks Gov. Strickland of Ohio, he can win there and thus win the presidency.  Furthermore, Gov. Strickland can perhaps help Obama do well in Indiana and put it into play.    

either Clinton or Obama will have to pick someone with military cred. to me, the choices are down to Clark or Webb. Webb might seal the election with his appeal to the GOP & independents, but he's too conservative in case something were to happen to Obama. so i'd go with Clark.

Choosing Sebelius would turn off Clinton supporters. Most of us support Clinton not because she is A woman, but because she is THAT PARTICULAR woman. Nothing against Sebelius, but that choice would be seen as an insulting attempt at appeasement and it wouldn't fly.

Wes Clark is too valuable to be wasted as VP. He would better serve as National Security Adviser or something like that.

Bill Richardson might be OK, but many Clinton supporters will not forget what they consider his self serving betrayal of Hillary. I don't think he would help that much, but I think he's running hard for the position.

John Edwards has already had his run at VP, and while I love him I just don't think it's a good match. Anyhow, he has stated firmly that he doesn't want it.

Bill Clinton. That was a joke, right?

I vote for Bill Richardson. That will really unify the party. Clinton supporter's are in aw over Richardson....really.

WAKE UP!

Clarke is not a good campaigner. Richardson is an absolute non starter.
