Reply #73: No one is better than Clark...

[Jai4WKC08]

well, on a whole bunch of things, come to think of it.

But specifically Clark excells in articulating how incompetent the Bushies are on foreign policy and their conduct of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And he has the credibility to make even conservatives take heed. Just yesterday, when discussing economic policy with Clark on CNBC, the interviewer (no friend to Democrats) concluded, "and since you're THE foreign policy expert..." (her emphasis). I've heard Joe Scarborough say as much.

Clark has plenty of domestic policy experience. Far more than Edwards or Vilsack have foreign policy or defense experience (essentially none). And it's executive experience, not legislative.

I'm not saying Kerry can't win with another running mate. But if it proves critical that we change even some of the minds of voters to believe that Democrats can handle the war(s) and our alliances better than the Bushies have, then Clark is Kerry's best partner.
