Am I the only one that doesn't care if it is Clark or Edwards?

[curse10]

I think both would be fabulous and I would be extatic with either!

-I was impressed with them both during the primaries
-Both give us some nice geographical bonuses
-They both have energy out the wazoo
-And, although I have little to nothing to base this on, I think they would both work really well with Kerry and be outstanding candidates in 2012!

[Padraig18]

1. I would be *thrilled* with either one!

:D

[JuniorPlankton]

2. You are not alone

Even for the people who do have preferences, it's a minor point.
Just kick the * bastard out!

[Ganja Ninja]

3. Just so long as it isn't someone with an (R) at the end of his/her

name I don't care.

[LittleApple81]

4. It might be somebody else. I just don't want a REPUG as vp. n/t

[librechik]

5. I'm with you, giving Clark a slight edge on the Foreign Affairs & Defense

aspect--Edwards will be attacked as a novice on those, but his charisma carries a lot of weight, and evens the two out as choices, IMO.

[cosmokramer]

24. Slight edge on FA & Defense?

More like the grand canyon separating the two.

26. Four-star Gen gets "slight edge" over trial lawyer?

Wes Clark was opposed to the war from the start. Of the three, he is the only one on the right side of the most important issue of the day.

Side point (not addressed to you in particular): How will the public feel if we choose two pro-war guys, same as the Repugs? Here is a chance for Kerry to at least appear to differ with Bush's foreign policy.

6. Both bring obvious plusses

Still love Clark, but either would be excellent.

[madrchsod]

7. don`t care who it is

as long as it isn`t dick-"it`s ok to say fuck in public"-cheney

[sandnsea]

8. I love them both

They both bring their own strengths to the ticket. It'll be up to the campaign to do the number crunching and decide whether to go to the economy or the war. I'm betting they'll go economy and optimism, but who knows. There's lots of other great possibilities as well. I have a few I hope he doesn't pick, but Clark or Edwards would be great.

And arguing about it is a complete waste of energy that could be better spent getting voters registered or something useful like that.

[Nashyra]

10. I want to see Edwards as AG

I worry about the sheeple. The repukes are great at soundbites and a "trial lawyer" gives them to many opportunities to bash Edwards which results in bashing the Dem ticket. Edwards is a great guy, he would better serve the Dems by being the AG and running in 2012 for Pres. when he would have a different record to run on. Personaly I don't think Clark would run for Pres. after 8 years as a veep. I think his main concern is to turn this country around and would be willing to pass the baton to a younger man or woman in 2012. Edwards/Clinton 2012.

[sandnsea]

13. wrong number

I'd like to have my sig line back. I'm tired of Democrats are doomed posts designed to boost ones own VP choice.

I love them both. I love them both. I love them both. Why don't you try saying that until it sinks in that we'd be privileged to have either of them for VP?

1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Be Relentless. NO Surrender.

How 'bout it? Can we turn our attention to the REAL GOAL?

[emulatorloo]

9. I like Clark a lot better, but I like Edwards too. . .ANYBODY but CHENEY!

It will thrill me to vote Kerry/Clark. I would be mighty happy to vote Kerry/Edwards. . .But I will vote Kerry no matter what.

[spooky3]

11. I prefer Edwards but I think we have a winning ticket with either.

[pdmike]

17. A Winning Ticket

God, I like that phrase: A WINNING TICKET!!!!

Let's use it a lot.

pdmike

[spooky3]

19. thanks, pdmike and welcome to DU!

[Darkamber]

12. great point...you hit it on the nail...

Both would be great and Both bring excellent bonuses with them. Even Gephardt brings some excellent bonuses with him.

And yes, I also think that either one would work well with Kerry.

Thanks for saying this...it needs to be heard..

[Tom Rinaldo]

14. While I do care

I think both men bring a lot to the plate so to speak. Whether Kerry picks one or the other will effect the complexion of the campaign, what points get emphasized in which ways etc. That's part of what a Presidential nominee needs to think about when choosing a VP. But both Clark and Edwards have a lot to offer and I will be thrilled if either one of them become our next VP.

[TexasSissy]

15. Whoever helps Kerry is who I want. Beyond that, I don't care.

[LuLu550]

16. I would be so happy if the VP threads would just go away, already!

Who cares anymore? Will anyone really vote for Bush because their "guy" isn't chosen? Aren't there more important things we can talk about?

[robbedvoter]

18. pro-war, anti-war - I am the only one who thinks it matters?

Am I the only one who thinks that voting for a war and making a bundle on it is...uh...not a commendable thing?

[LWolf]

20. no!

You are not the only one. I'm fine with either. I've been pretty sure Kerry wouldn't choose a primary contender, but hope I'm wrong on that one.

[Hippo_Tron]

21. Agreed, I'm so fucking tired of these VP arguments

It feels like primary season again except that we're fighting over NOTHING.

[JohnKleeb]

23. thank you!

[MoonRiver]

22. I've said it before and I'll say it again,

more than anything else I want us to defeat *. Clark's my favorite but if Edwards can get the job done I have no problem with him as VP.

[Young Liberal]

25. Either one would work great!

I watched Edwards give a speech in Iowa during the caucuses, and I felt he had great charisma. He is a fresh face in the political world, and he could really draw out the younger demographic (from personal experience, people who weren't Kerry or Dean supporters flocked to Edwards when their candidate didn't get enough votes to advance in my caucus). Though I haven't seen Clark personally, he has just as much to add to the ticket as Edwards would. I would be happy with either of them!

[bitchkitty]

27. I prefer Clark, but

Edwards will do just fine, thank you. At this point I would take a Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck ticket if it gets the chimp out of the oval office.

But I do prefer Clark - I believe that he can get the crossover vote much more easily than Edwards. But Edwards, I think, could do very, very well also - so I'm happy with either of them.
