It won’t happen, because Clark brings no electoral votes to the Clinton camp.
She will tap a politician who can bring the electoral votes of his state.
I think it will be Richardson. Hillary can control him.
That excludes Gore then, because he will never carry TN again...
...not that she could stomach him. I believe her revulsion for his patronizing nature is as strong as my revulsion for Gore’s and Hillary’s patronizing natures.
Agreed. I predict Evan Bayh. He'd deliver the consistently red state of IN and probably get the bleed-over into Ohio and Kentucky. His success at talking the conservative role while advancing liberal agenda is precisely what Hillary covets. He comes across reasoned, genial, great family man, etc.
Wesley Clark may be preening for the job, but, imho, the pact is already in place. Bayh had just thrown his hat in the presidential ring when he abruptly withdrew after only about a week--coincidentally, right after his return from some overseas junket with Hillary.
First, where is he living now?
Second, why couldn't he just pull a Cheney?
Third, I really think she believes she is going to roll in with a landslide, and she'll probably look at Reagan and Bush 43 and say to herself, "They didn't need it, so I don't either."
But yeah...I think she'll pick Richardson.
