Clearly, Clark is Hillary's stalking horse. Most speculation (mine amongst it), has been that he will eventually end up as the Veep on a ticket headed by Hillary. Or, perhaps, Hillary will play Veep to his candidacy -- so that she might innoculate the voters against her scandals, in preparation for a serious run in 2008.

There is a "third way".

Concerning the voters that he intends to appeal to, Clark has done the "strong defense"/"moderate domestic" straddle. PLUS, he has specifically targeted "those silent voters, the ones that came out to vote for Ross Perot."(!!!)

Pregnant pause...

Could it be that, after exhuming the corpse of the Reform Party and its body of disaffected and alienated conservatives, Clark might bolt the primaries with an "independent, third party" campaign? And, in the process, reprise the Perot role in the 1992 Bush-Clinton-Perot election -- thereby electing yet another Clinton?

It worked once before...

And, more than anybody, Clark reminds me of Perot -- "the reluctant nutcase warrior from beyond the pale"...

2004 is too iffy for Hill. She'll toy with the idea of running -- and if Bush's poll numbers sag enough, she will -- but mostly she's laying the ground work for 2008. Clark will be the Veep on a ticket headed by Al Gore, thus closing the security gap.

Of course, nothing on this ticket solves the personality gap, but we'll keep that to ourselves.
