Two More Dems
A poster reminds me that I've neglected to include Bill Richardson and Wes Clark among my list of potential Democratic candidates. They're both interesting figures, but I don't see them as having the stature of Hillary Clinton or Al Gore. Richardson always felt to me like (Bill) Clinton-lite, though it's certainly politically helpful that he's Latino. He's also from the West, which some politicos are arguing is a new Democratic stronghold, so that helps him also.
Clark used the title of my book, "American Son," for his 2004 campaign bio, so he certainly used good judgment there. And his military credentials could help him speak with credibility about the war. In a race against McCain, that might prove important.
But these guys have the constituencies to mount credible campaigns? And just as important, the money?
