Michael Moore endorses Clark.
This comes as a bit of a surprise and, at first, disappointment. MM does have some valid and convincing points though.
Coming on the heels of the endorsement of Dean by one of my two personal favorites (Moseley Braun), this throws me into uncertainty.
There have also been rumors of behind-the-scenes fundraising for Clark by Clinton.
I'm going to see the other of my two personal favorites (Kucinich) speak today.
I wish I could know the running mate of choice for each candidate before voting in the primary.
Clark-Braun? Could win, I think.
Dean-Clark? Also a good pairing.
Dean-Kerry? Dean-Edwards? I don't know.
I doubt Dean is on anyone's short list for VP, and I think Lieberman is thankfully dangling from the fringes of the Democratic party.
I think it likely at this point that either Dean or Clark will get the nod, although things could naturally change.
What VP selection do you think will cement the win for either of them?

I think Braun would not do well in either role due to her Senate-era problems, but I don't say that meaning to criticize someone you like.

Personally, I think Dean/Edwards is a really good ticket and it's something I really pull for. Of course Clark/Edwards is equally as good since it reminiscences of Clinton/Gore.
Mosley-Braun would weight down a ticket since she's got ethics past problems up the wazoo. Plus, she's running for Senator again here in Illinois and she's a strong candidate against a weak Republican field if she chooses to concentrate on that instead of running as a potential VP (although I'm endorsing Danny Davis in the Illinois senate race).

Mind if I bring two students with me. (They'll be competing in the Scholastic section.) Their games are a little more packed on Saturday and Sunday, so the best time we'd all be free would be Saturday evening.
My cell phone: (928) 245-0244
(We're leaving soon, right after school, in like an hour and a half, and I'll probably be on the road until about 10 tonight.)

i'm for Dean, myself, despite his position well to the right of my politics on a number of issues. there hasn't been a campaign like his during my lifetime and i don't think there's been as crucial a political emergency as the Bush administration in my lifetime either. i can't vote solely on ideology this time, i'm afraid.
Bush has to go.

kucinich only seems too liberal till you sit through an entire speech and he spells out the mechanics of why it'll work
