Potential candidates for 2008
As much as I'm in love with the concept of "Clark-Obama 2008", I really don't see much chance of this happening. But then again, Kerry didn't look like a contender even a year ago either (and please, no jokes about Tuesday.) Clark needs to get to work and build a base, ala Nixon and Goldwater after their losses. The only thing that troubles me is that he hasn't had any success in the political arena, but his performance as a "talking head" has been outstanding. He needs to run for something to remain relevant; the success of state governors in running for President (Carter, Reagan, Clinton, &W) suggests the path to take. Barack Obama's political potential is a no-brainer. Actually, I think he could lead the ticket, except that the lack of experience could be an issue like it was for John Edwards.
