Where would you like to see Wesley Clark in a Democratic Administration?

[dansolo]

Poll question: Where would you like to see Wesley Clark in a Democratic Administration?

Clark seems to have indicated that he wouldn't want to be a Vice-President. If he isn't on the ticket and another Democrat wins the presidency, I'd hope that he would consider a cabinet position if he were asked. I think he would make an excellent Secretary of Defense, and is probably better suited for that role over VP.

[Myra]

1. Sect of Defense

No doubt about it.

[Kurovski]

2. I'd like to see him in the Lincoln Bedroom...

Oh wait, that's not what you mean, is it?

[shoopnyc123]

3. Me Too!

Lincoln Bedroom!

[Kurovski]

7. 4score4shore!

AAAYYUUPP!!!

[MoonRiver]

27. Best laid plans...

;)

[Myra]

35. :) I'm sorry. I can't help it. That is one godamn handsome man!

If there was a swimsuit competition in the pres race,
he'd win it by a mile. Lord he's buff.

[Kurovski]

36. Amen, sister-woman.

Ain't no use in lyin' about a natural-born fact.

4. Commander-in-chief

Wes Clark is uniquely qualified to be the next commander-in-chief of the United States. Dean's medical deferment, along with the mogul skiing story, will keep him from having support among anyone other than the far left. When the country is at war, a draft dodger can't and won't be elected in the general election. Supporting Dean, is in effect, supporting Bush. Sorry, but it's the truth.

[QC]

6. You're right, but

please be prepared to have the local Deaniebots try to rip the bark off you.

[Kurovski]

9. Welcome to DU floridaguy!

Dive right in, but lookout for the riptide!

[creativelcro]

16. janitor ?

this is going to get me killed :) I'm not serious guys! Just following the level of these latest threads...

[newyawker99]

26. Hi floidayguy!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Jerseycoa]

5. State or Defense (eom)

If not prez

[FrenchieCat]

8. President.....

Like to see him in the Wes Wing!

[FrenchieCat]

10. Kick!!!

:kick:

[Cooley Hurd]

11. If he fails to win the nomination to whomever...

...then I think he would make an awesome Sec of State, don't you?

Actually, come to think of it, what would be an appropriate office for each candidate if they were to be unable to secure the nomination?

Dean: HHS
Kerry: Defense
Gephardt: Labor
Kucinich: Interior
Mosley-Braun: Chief of Staff
Leiberman: WH Chief Usher

[FrenchieCat]

13. If he fails to win the nomination....

there won't be a new cabinet to put together....they'll just keep the one they already have.

[lastliberalintexas]

31. Same old, same old

Can you only say positive things about Clark? Good Lord- even in response to a little good will in a thread you must go on the attack? Geez.


And btw, alg, you forgot Sharpton. He'd make a fabulous press sec!

[Cooley Hurd]

33. Crap... I didn't mean to forget about Al...

I agree, he'd make an excellent PS, but the briefing room would need extra urinals - he'd have the press corps peeing their pants (from laughing).

[elperromagico]

39. What about Edwards for Attorney General?

He might be out of a job come 3 January.

I say we need Kerry in the Senate more than in the White House IF HE DOESN'T WIN THE NOMINATION (and a Republican governor would appoint his replacement, IIRC). Same goes for Lieberman, I believe.

I favor CMB for Secretary of State. She's got the gravitas. ;)

Edit: Added the words "IF HE DOESN'T WIN THE NOMINATION" in order to avoid attacks from Kerry supporters and in order to clarify my stance.

[Randi_Listener]

12. Torn

Now that I have met with Wesley Clark, it's hard for me to not like him.

[elperromagico]

41. Jesus Quincy Adams!!!

What the fuck is Bush doing there?!? Dancing?

[HoosierClarkie]

42. I met him too...

unlike Dean, he took time out of his busy schedule-getting on the plane for Face the Nation-to thank me for driving him and his crew to the airport. Truly the most genuine "politician" I have met thus far.
btw more handsome in person!

[QC]

14. THOSE DAMN CLARKIES

have been signaling to one another to flood DU and sabotage the polls again!

First they did it by posting notices on the Clark site, but lately they have grown more clever and taken advantage of their Military/Industrial Complex connections by transmitting messages to one another via the receptors in their subcutaneous microchips!

DAMN THOSE CLARKIES!!!!!

[Mz Pip]

15. You found us out!!!

It's the microchips. Really. Mine left a little scar on my forehead but if I comb my hair forward a bit it covers it up.

There is one bad side effect to that chip. I seem to pick up signals from Cheney's bunker. Particularly when he and Lynne get greased up with Astro Glide. Really gives me a headache.

[FrenchieCat]

17. OK, OK....

I'll drink my Kool-Aid!

[QC]

20. Please don't tell The Usual Crew that I figured it out.

Otherwise I will be liquidated by the anal-probers.

Thanks!

[FrenchieCat]

22. I am too busy to tell....

my lips are moving....but I ain't telling....oh shit, I can't control myself...my lips are moving, but I have no control
...."I've got the power"......

Did I just say that?

[Spazito]

18. LOL!

Now I have to waste time cleaning up the coffee off my keyboard!

[retyred]

19. Exactly where he will be

Top Dog



retyred in fla
“good night paul, wherever you are”
So I read the book

[Mattforclark]

21. My ideal for Clark

would be to clone him. Install him as President and all his clones in the various other positions. :)

[ecstatic]

23. nowhere really, but I guess he could take Rumsfeld's job

As a nice parting gift. He needs a position that will have little or no effect on US policies, as I still am not convinced that he is completely on our side.

[FrenchieCat]

24. Too bad....

You should certainly vote your conscience then! But just in case, you can always just read:

29. And here's another great one to check out

34. thanks for that...

I feel kind of bad now for what I said about him--only because your response was so kind.

[burning bush]

28. Clark Will Make An Excellent VP

To Dean's Pres.

In 2012, Clark will make an excellent Pres himself.

As for Dean being a draft dodger?

I'm surprised to hear Democrats talking that kind of re-puke.

The man is no dodger, and saying so only make the Republicans smirk.

I hate Right-Wing smirkers.

Let's get together, somehow, ok? We can't win this with ANY candidate if we divide ourselves up.

[Jerseycoa]

30. I don't care

About the draft-dodger thing. But Clark and Dean together on either ticket makes no sense. Either one of them would need a congressional insider just in practical terms.

[elperromagico]

40. Right.

An outsider-outsider ticket isn't typical among the major parties. It's usually either outsider-insider or insider-insider.

Still, it's an interesting idea.

[ArkDem]

32. Secretary of Peace

...

[xJlM]

37. Sweeping the floor

In a Kucinich-Sharpton administration, he could be in charge of helping GW get all his stuff out of the White House.

[elperromagico]

43. Could he just pick up the boxes and throw them out the window?

"And STAY OUT! We're changing the locks!'

[Bill of Rights]

38. As President,

of course!:dem:

[eleanor1]

44. Dog-catcher.

I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
