Wesley Clark has finally decided to run for president!
What would you say about a Clark/Dean ticket? At this point, Dean *is* the obvious choice for VP if Clark's campaign takes off; he's got a strongly motivated group and a well-filled war chest behind him already.

i don't really care who he pairs up with, as long as Clark is #1 on the ticket. i think he's the only one who has a realistic chance to win. i'm still mad at the rest of them for not standing up to Dubbya!

I'd be happier with John Kerry in the VP seat. He, may not be as well known outside of Massachusetts, but he's been a terrific senator here, and I believe he would do very well with Clark. Kerry has the military experience that would be so necessary in communicating with Clark on a day-to-day basis, and also has the political experience of being a politician just about forever.
On a lighter note, we had our primary election here in town yesterday. I try to never miss an election (only have missed voting when I was actually hospitalized), so I brought DD and my bad self down to the polling place. Sadly, I was voter #345 for the day, and we got there close to closing time. Even the elderly ladies that are the election wardens were snoozing at their posts, it was that dull. But they knew me, and they knew DD - because I've been taking her with me to vote since she was born.
The elderly ladies are excited that she's nearly fourteen. They told her that they can't wait until she's eighteen and can register to vote, because they know she'll never miss an election. :-)

Trouble is, in the military, especially when you get that high, people get very heirarchical. Sure they talk to "every one" about every thing. But just from that one perspective of top man on the totem pole. Perhaps a breadth of perspective, but not a depth. They also tend to have a hard time recognising communication styles different from the detail rather than systemic one that's dominant in the military, and typically dismissive of us touchy-feely types. Not good for a sense of inherent equality. Good military leaders tend to be very effective, but usually narrow. Hard to communicate with. Things must be on their terms. Little recognition of different but equal. Like, "OK, maybe equal, but less useful/valuable."
I'll take a visionary leader any day. Usually the "captain of industry" types.
