A Clark and Graham ticket would be best!!!
The war will be the focus of the election. Everything else will be ancillary. The Democrats have to stay focused. "The threat was not imminent. Therefore, the war was unwise."

That said, the nominee has to be anti-war. I understand Kerry's position on the resolution. Unfortunately, about 96% of our population is too dumb to understand. So he is out in my opinion. Kerry screwed himself and so did Hillary, Edwards, Gephardt and Lieberman if you ask me. Dean, Kucinich, Braun and Sharpton do not look or act presidential. Thus, they can't even be V.P.

Clark has the best resume and image for these times and that is why he can win and that is why I am supporting Clark. Graham voted against the Iraq resolution. That is the only thing that most Americans can understand. Their eyes glaze over as soon as any nominee starts qualifying how they voted for Iraq resolution last fall.

1. I favor Graham,
But, together, your picks are too conservative.

Graham just doesn't do anything for me.

3. B.C. (before Clark) I favored Graham/Edwards as a way
to gut the South. This ticket would be even stronger than that. It would make Sherman's march look like a little picnic. This ticket would reclaim the South for the Democratic Party.

Yes, it's a little conservative. But you run in the middle (and maybe this year a little conservative) and govern from the left.

5. That might
actually happen. Could Edwards carry NC?

7. With Clark, very possibly
I have no problem with an all Southern ticket and I'm from NY. Edwards is overall liberal, although I wasn't happy about the enthusiasm for the war. However, his politics in general are good politics and there's no such thing as perfect. He's intelligent, engaging and comes across as warm. His hair still needs work, but it's improving.

6. I like that
Edwards had me at hello. Ok, I'm kidding! But seriously folks, after the last televised debates (on FAUX,) I became an Edwards fan.
