Reply #10: Clark would've been a great V.P., in retrospect. But NEVER the skill [View All]

to be the top dawg on the ticket. I was a Clark supporter and loved him, but I recognized early on, as did many others, that he didn't have the political skill to win (or the debating skills).

Don't get me wrong. I think Clark would make a great President. But you have to get elected first, and politicking is a dog eat dog art that takes years to learn on the road. Clark just didn't have that sort of experience.

In hindsight, however, he might've been better on the ticket as VP than Edwards, although I was excited by Edwards. Clark would have added some gravitas to the national security issue (but then there's the two-military-men-on-the-ticket issue, so I don't know).

Besides, what's the point in this now? That's history. Are you thinking of 2008, maybe?
