I’m guessing Obama will go with Wes Clark, because:
– Military strength to combat McCain’s only plus.
– He’s a Hillary supporter – unify the party.
– He ran in ’04, people already kinda know about him.
– He’s a handsome white dude (calm the nerves of the people afraid to vote for an ‘angry black muslim america-hater’).
I like that possibility. I hope you are right. He could be to Obama what Cheney is to Bush. I like Clark in that role a lot more of course.
I mentioned this to my wife and she said Clark as v.p. makes her fear for Obama’s life even more. Maybe some nutcase would want to create a scenario where the president was white again.
Some of my hopes for Obama’s campaign are that ultimately it would be good for black and white relations, that a more positive expectation of black leadership in America prevails at all levels,specifically from blacks and that cynicism of black towards whites and whites towards blacks would diminish. The rev. Wright issue was awful with regard to these hopes. Who knows maybe even that has some lessons for a lot of people? I really hope nothing of a violent nature ever happens to Obama.
