Liberal Repercussion

It seems to me that you really need the charismatic guy up front, the communicator. The Vice Presidency is a waste of Dean's leadership and communication skills, but is a perfect fit for Clark's military background.

While Clark has command experience, it is in the command of a hierarchical organization where obedience is required, not necessarily wooed and won. I think the politician Dean's experience makes him better suited to romance and win the vote of the people.

Bear in mind that Bill and Al and Hillary and Tipper defined a presidency where everyone worked and worked hard and smart. The Vice Presidency commands plenty of respect and is freer in some respects to move about the world than the President.

The important thing is for Dems to put out the irresistable bait that will win the votes of the people; I am not remotely interested in the egos of the candidates. Personally, I think Dean/Clark works better.
