... Say nothing at all, in fact. Ing's recent post hits a soft spot with me. To me, the addition of Gen. Wes Clark to the Obama ticket would have been 'Fair.' You see, I liked Gen. Clark during the then-2004 Democratic primary when he was a contender for the top of the ticket. When Clark showed up within the Hillary Clinton campaign, it made me stay neutral in the Clinton-Obama contest for a much longer period of time (much to Ing's annoyance!) before I fully supported Obama. Unfortunately, based on a statement with which I happen to agree, it seems as if it would be best for Obama to avoid the most recent controversy surrounding Wes Clark.
I have a feeling the republicans were just waiting to jump on Gen. Clark, fearful that if he joined Obama as VP, McCain would fall further behind. While I am still confident in Sen. Obama - I was just hoping... Obama/Clark was my "dream team" ticket. So does that leave me hoping for an Obama/Clinton ticket?
The recent pouncing on Clark creates an interesting scenario - - will everyone associated with a campaign stay "on message" - that is, with pre-scripted, focus-grouped vanilla statements or will we be able to hear true thoughts. I am fearful that this campaign will become a race to the researched middle... whether I like it or not.
