Would Kerry endorse Clark if he drops out

[Marines for Clark]

If Kerry dropped out would he endorse Clark? that would be big for Clark in my opinon. A Clark/Kerry ticket wouldn't be bad at all

[welshTerrier2]

1. Why would he ?

i can't imagine why Kerry would endorse someone who dropped out ... it doesn't make any sense ... besides, i don't think Clark is likely to drop out anytime soon ...

4. reply

what a meant that if Kerry decided to drop in the near future would he endorse Clark instead of Dean?

6. just "funnin" ya ..

your subject line: Would Kerry endorse Clark if he drops out left it open to interpretation who was dropping out ...

the "if HE drops out" could just as easily have meant Clark as Kerry ... it was unclear ...

anyway, I prefer to focus on the good work being done right now by both of these candidates ... i've been very impressed with both of them over the last few weeks or so ...

i see no point in wild speculation about what would happen if either of them were to drop out ... and i have no idea what would happen even if i did care to speculate ...

2. If Clark dropped out, would HE endorse Kerry?

I always try to think of it the other way first, to help get prospective. If the answer isn't the same, the support probably isn't mutual and it won't happen.

I think, yes, if Clark dropped out he would endorse Kerry, so by my twisted logic (that makes perfect sense) Kerry will endorse Clark, IF he drops out

3. Kerry is not dropping out

why start such a stupid thread?

[arewethereyet]

5. not so stupid molly

Kerry is the serious candidate most at risk.

And to answer the original question, if Kerry was offered the 2 spot for an endorsement then you bet he would.

There is not so much different between the two except for Kerry being an actual elected politico. Why not ?

7. that's not true

Lieberman is more at risk than Kerry

Alot of the media has pounded it in to people that Kerry is on this downward spiral for some time now. it's not the case.

[arewethereyet]

14. then why is Leiberman leading so many state polls ?

albiet not Iowa of NH. Kerry was bound to NH and is floundering. Sorry but I just don't see it going so well for your boy.

11. Don't make bets

[welshTerrier2]

8. i agree ...

kerry is way behind in NH ... maybe gaining a little ground in Iowa but still 3rd at best ... he got off to a worse than horrible start ... it seems to me he knows he's going to get killed in N.H. ... his campaign organization was in tatters a few weeks ago ...

if Kerry was going to pack it in, this was the time ... clearly, he's decided to stick ... he's in it for the long haul ...

and, if the last two days are any indication, he's well on his way to becoming a much more formidable candidate ...

too many here think the primaries are a done deal ... they're not ... i think dean, clark and kerry are going to be putting on a lot of miles before the democratic convention ...

to quote bob dylan:

come writers and poets who prophesize with your pens
and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
and don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
and there's no telling who that it's naming
for the loser now may be later to win
cause the times they are a changing ...

10. If Kerry can't win Iowa, NH, SC, where will he make his stand?

This is an honest question....

I have never really thought of it until now...

13. Kerry is a fighter - HISTORY rules in this campaign

[Kahuna]

16. Don't know Molly. If polls continue to show Dean beating him..

in MA, he may drop out. That would be very humiliating and may spoil his chances to be chosen for the VP slot.

9. Kerry's not dropping out

Silly idea altogether.

[poskonig]

12. I'd think he would endorse Gephardt.

Given their coordinated attacks against other candidates, they'd likely support each other if one of them lost too.

[TheDonkey]

15. Kerry would endorse Clark

and a Clark/Kerry ticket would be incredible.

I hope it happens.
