20. I don't think it can be Kerry/Edwards for two reasons.
1.) Kerry needs to pick a Washington "outsider". Two Senators on the ticket is a liability that * would definitely capitalize on.
2.) The only possible area of vulnerability for Kerry is national security. Edwards is barely wet behind the ears in that area, and voted wrong on the IWR to boot. Having Pres. and VP candidates who voted wrong on Iraq is another big liability among Independents who opposed the war. A Clark VP would negate all these concerns. Clark has mega experience and credentials on national security, obviously. He also has taken an anti-war, or at least anti-war *'s way, stance from the beginning. In other words, he has no IWR ghost to haunt him.

These are just some of my thoughts as to why I believe Kerry will choose General Clark to be his VP. I also think Clark will accept the offer.
