Let's keep some focus here, folks: KERRY is going to be the President [View All]

I read so much drivel here about why selecting Clark is so vital to Kerry's chances that I just wanna :puke: ! In the first place, the American public at large isn't going to give a rat's ass whether the VP candidate has ANY foreign-policy experience or not, and in the second place, it's vaguely condescending to assume that Sen. Kerry needs 'help' in this regard at ALL. Kerry isn't going to drop dead the day after he's sworn in, so whoever is chosen as VP will have plenty of time to learn, and every single person mentioned as a possibility is more than capable of learning what they'll need to know, not to mention the fact that Kerry will have his FP team in place to help out should, God forbid, something happen to Kerry.

What Kerry needs in a VP is someone he can trust, someone who can help excite the voters about a Kerry presidency and get him elected, and who can help out the 'down ticket' folks running for the House and Senate, etc. .
