He would work well as a VP That's the conventional wisdom, but let's face it, the guy's a wimp. We have GOT to find that quote....

I have seen no sign yet that Clark can function as a politician, for all the great stuff on his CV. Did you see Newt Gingrich on Charlie Rose? Very interesting. Newt thinks that Dean can win the Democratic nomination and that he might not be such a bad choice for them; a party that is likely to lose anyway might as well nominate the guy who can inspire the base and crystalize the ideas. Newt thinks that if the economy improves Bush will win easily, but if it's still bad Bush will have a tough fight on his hands. Newt also thought Gore's speech last week was a waste of time. A man in Gore's position, he said, who is not actively running for office, can use his fame to make himself a "thought leader" (only Newt can use this term without irony) for his party by thinking hard about one or two subjects and bringing some new and fresh ideas to the table that people on both sides of the isle will find interesting. Instead, Gore just gave a passable imitation of Howard Dean.
