Instead of leaving a long azz comment on bradical's Wesley Clark diary, I decided to plea directly to Senator Obama. (Video referenced in bradical's diary is below).
Cross post in on my blog and OffTheBus.
Although, it's said that General Clark's VP chances are much less than Biden or Bayh, I am getting my hopes up again.
Ok Obama, here's my pitch. General Clark is a highly decorated, intelligent, well-spoken, older (although he doesn't look 63), white guy. Although your intelligence, world knowledge, and charisma has McCain on the ropes already, the combination Obama/Clark will pretty much ensure a landslide. Clark has a lot of fans from his 2004 run, he was a Hillary Clinton surrogate (more assuaging of Clinton voters), and he would be a great attack dog and can viciously go after McCain so you won't look like the angry, black man attacking the feeble, older white candidate.
We all got a taste of this earlier when Clark eviscerated McCain, military man v. military man. Having an older white military guy will inoculate you against those swift boat attacks and will probably help with some of blue collar white population who are wavering because they are scared as hell to vote for the black guy.
I like Biden, Bayh...not so much.
I'm waiting for the text message.
Please. please, please...here take another look:
