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.

[cspackler]

Nah, more likely she'd run as VP for Clark the have him Foster'd...

That explains everything!

Can't. She promised NY she would finish her term - Many, many, times on national TV. Already she'd have one Clinton type lie on her record. Not to mention the impeached womanizer would be in tow.

Fosterize?

[spectre]

Clark is a loser. And remember what the Clinton's said about losers? "You cut them loose"..buh, bye Ashley.

BWAHAHAHAHA. A Clinton promise. That's a good one!

[brbethke]

Don't do it, Wesley! Think of William Henry Harrison!

Actually, I worry most about this scenario. If Dean is the nominee, the Black turnout will be low because of his confederate flag gaff.
If Clark/Clinton is the ticket, demRat voters will come out in force.
Considering how close national elections have been in recent years, a low Black turnout will spell defeat for the Rats.

OMG! My kids are smart.
My daughter (14) is studying the the seperation of powers as I type. I just said "Clark is thinking about asking Hillary to be his Vice President."
She said " But she'd have him assinated!!!"

Watching the Democrats lately is like watching a Mexican soap opera. Lots of drama, screwing, plotting, and yelling and I don't understand a word they say.

[HEY4QDEMS]

He could pick Gore as his VP.

Then, if Clark became president, and anything happened to Clark a la Foster, her royal highness would inherit the throne.

[The Grim Freeper]

Great minds.

LOL. Sorry. At least I was close. I homeschool, and in between posts I hear "Mom! Mom? Hey mom! I don't get this one. Mommmm!"

Uh, yeah, and I'm "considering" what kind of yacht I'm gonna buy when I win the lottery.

I guess his campaign wasn't tanking fast enough.
