What are the cons of a Wesley Clark VP for Hillary?

[Jitter65]

I think he might be a stealth candidate for VP.

[sufrommich]

1. He's older than her. It's not going to be someone

older than her.

[bigwillq]

2. Age

VP should be someone younger than Clinton, imo

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. Age plus no particular electoral advantage

[DemonGoddess]

4. I expect that her VP candidate

may very well be someone none of us are truly expecting. As to Gen. Clark, he's older than her, and it wouldn't actually help her ticket.

[comradebillyboy]

5. He has no political appeal, he has no electoral

experience, he has no constituency that would help Clinton, he is not particularly popular...he has none of the qualities one would seek in a vice presidential candidate.

6. Right, it's not like she needs to shore up her foreign policy cred. (n/t)

[timlot]

7. He is a Bush Cheney neocon.

Clark praised Reagan for improving the military:

"We were really helped when President Ronald Reagan came in. I remember non-commissioned officers who were going to retire and they re-enlisted because they believed in President Reagan."

Clark continued: "That's the kind of President Ronald Reagan was. He helped our country win the Cold War. He put it behind us in a way no one ever believed would be possible. He was truly a great American leader. And those of us in the Armed Forces loved him, respected him, and tremendously admired him for his great leadership."

Clark on President George Bush: "President George Bush had the courage and the vision... and we will always be grateful to President George Bush for that tremendous leadership and statesmanship."
