Is it a good idea or not? If not, why not? To state my bias, I'm still an observer, I am finding I like all the candidates, even one's I have loathed in the past (no comment:). Dean and Clark to me seem to have a certain good political-strategy side. One, they are both actually quite moderate and open to solutions from the whole spectrum of ideas (yes?). But more to the point... they are a North/South ticket, and they are a Domestic/Foreign relations ticket. They are also a populist movement mixed with traditionalism (Generals are traditionals... that is... Clark running will take some of the military vote, and some of the vote that is not going to look deeper than Doctor/Senator/General to make their vote.
