Team Obama looking at military leaders for VP

We were stationed with Wes Clark when he was the 1-star CG at the NTC. Many of his underlings were not impressed.

I don't see it happening at all, as it would be a tremendous mistake. Obama will carry MA anyway, and Kerry would add nothing to the ticket. Anyone would be better than Kerry.

Even I agree on that, plus no one wants the baggage of what sank Kerry back in 04.

Early on, Obama - Clinto ticket looked pretty good but as time passed by that too looks more like a walking disaster that would never help.

It would be really interesting to see what the short list would look like considering all the peices Obama would need to beat McCain in November.
