I am Stateside this month on a family visit. I saw Wes Clark once in Sarajevo. Very impressive individual. Probably right for a VP slot but it's not clear what he would be like as a leader in his own right. Kerry and Gore were both Lite versions of what the Dems are looking for, which is another Clinton (meaning someone with genuine political charisma, not the manufactured Hillary variety). I'll have to see more of Warner once I am back Stateside permanently this fall, then decide. In my Balkan days, I saw about 1/3 of the Senate at that time come through on visits of various sorts. George Mitchell and Joe Biden were the two smartest by a very wide margin. Too bad Mitchell is past competitive politics now; plus he is a dry guy from Maine, not too marketable as a national candidate. I love McCain's self-deprecating sense of humor. Shows me he has some depth that the current batch of incumbents sorely lacks.
