Which ticket would you prefer? Clark-Dean or Kerry-Edwards?
Hypothetically, of course. :) But which pair do you think would do best against Bush-Cheney? No doubt, everyone could match up other names but if this were your only choice, who would you choose?

It is not altogether impossible that it could turn out with one of those tickets. Since Clark is from the South, he would not need Edwards. Since he is a retired General, he would not need John Kerry on the ticket. However, if for some reason Dean had to drop out somewhere down the line, would not his supporters and organization be a big asset for Clark.

Likewise, with Kerry from Massachusetts, would it not be advantageous for him to have a running mate from the South, someone like Edwards. So if one of those scenarios came to pass, which pair would you prefer to run against Bush-Cheney?

7. Clark/Edwards
would be a good ticket, however, I would think Clark/Kerry would be even better. Kerry would bring a lot more understanding to the inner workings of Washington than Edwards.

10. I like your analysis.
It's good coalitional game theory -- I'm going to steal it for other purposes --

Personally, I like both tickets but Clark-Dean a bit better.

13. Clark/Edwards or Clark/Kerry
Clark and Dean together is the worst ticket possible.

14. I could vote in the GE for Clark-Dean.
Certainly won't be voting for Kerry or Edwards in any possible combination.

15. Neither.
I'd prefer a Dean-Harkin ticket myself.

Dean will win all 50 states while Iowans flock for their hero.

18. Kerry/Edwards
Clark/Dean is not plausible, IMO. Clark/Kerry, perhaps.

20. I would prefer Kerry/Edwards - then Kerry/Clark
both Edwards and Clark need Kerry - he's the one with the political smarts and experience. Edwards is new - so is Clark - Kerry has 30 years of outstanding service in the Senate. Think on it - it's logical.

21. Clark/Edwards..Edwards/Clark..
My dream tickets. :)

But from the ones you listed in your subject..I'd prefer Edwards/Kerry rather than the other way around.

24. Kerry-Edwards
Either that or Kerry-Clark. I think Rove would shit his pants if he had to go up against Kerry-Clark.
