In a bid to reclaim some of the spotlight after Al Gore endorsed his rival Howard Dean Tuesday morning, Democrat presidential candidate Wesley Clark said he was considering asking U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton to be his running mate in 2004.
"She is very smart ... I like Hillary. I've known her a long time." Clark told MSNBC hours after news of Gore's endorsement broke.
On the campaign trail in New Hampshire Tuesday morning, the former NATO chief said he "has not ruled out Hillary Clinton as his running mate if he wins the Democratic presidential nomination," according to the Associated Press.
"I think she wants George Bush out of the White House because it's best for country," Clark said earlier, suggesting that his party's most popular politician might accept if it was the only way to defeat President Bush.
On Sunday Sen. Clinton refused to rule out joining the Democrat ticket as vice president and said only that she did not expect any of the presidential candidates to ask her.
"That is not going to happen," she told ABC's "This Week" host, George Stephanopoulos. "That is so far beyond the realm of the possible."
"That's not a 'No.' It could happen," the former Clinton communications director replied.

Then, if Clark became president, and anything happened to Clark a la Foster, her royal highness would inherit the throne.Bill and Hillary would be back on the throne.
Is Clark that stupid? Does he have a death wish?

She said " But she'd have him assinated!!!"And Hillary's got just the butt to do it too.

All Dean has to do is say "I'm ...'considering'.....Gore for my VP."

Clark must have just found out he has inoperable cancer, or maybe he wants inoperable cancer.

If Clark got elected with Mrs. Clinton as VP there would be pools statrrted all over the internet for choosing which of the first 30 days would have Clark's heart attack, motorcade accident/whatever. There would be more betting pools on what sort of accident or health problem he would experience.

There would be more betting pools on what sort of accident or health problem he would experience. And all procedes would be donated to the "Replace Hillary" political fund. It would be HUGE!

Hmm. I guess she has the goods on him so he'd have to select her, but...can a president fire a vice-president? Maybe he thinks once he's elected (hardeharhar) he could dump her.

My bet is blackmail.

If Hitlery WANTED the nomination in '04, all she'd have to do would be to announce tomorrow! But she won't. Why NOT you say???? Because she doesn't want to take on an INCUMBENT President who has the power of the White House, a roaring economy and who stands strong against terrorism.
She want a wide open contest in '08 against a NEW Republican face which she is DEAD SURE she can beat.
Speaking of DEAD SURE, watch the headlines soon for what will surely come to be known as "Vermonticide." I fully expect Dean to be killed in a mysterious plane crash this winter. And whose finger prints "won't" be found on the fuselage???????????????? Bet on it. Hitlery will strike again!
