Clinton and Gore feud? Well Clinton and Gore may be having a feud, but it is a family feud. They are much closer on issues, than for example were Gore and Liberman... and they still teamed up. As for Clark ... he needs to play the game.... Dean is the frontrunner and a much better politician than Clark. Clinton WILL NOT endorse Clark because then "the feud" becomes a party crisis. Dont' forget that Clinton "FIRED" Clark, so just because Clark does not want to be VP under Dean, Clark has to make a choice as to whether he wants a future in politics or not. At this point, Clark does not have much of a chance of winning the presidental party nomination, so if he does not take the VP job he will be seen as a loser and a party divider. Conclusion: Clinton endorses nobody. He lets the voters decide. Dean wins on the first ballot with Clark as his VP

Dean-Clark is practically a done deal IMHO. The Clintons want to win and they want to make sure a moderate southerner is on the ticket. If Clark is their man they want him on the ticket. Clark would have a very hard time beating Dean now even if Clinton endorsed him. That is a remote possibility but I don't think even CLinton would dare do that now. Hillary has promised not to endorse anyone. Dean needs to win Florida or Arkansas or one southern state. To do that he needs a southern running mate who can deliver that one state. Send Clark to Arkansas and north Florida and that could make the difference. Dean has a lot to prove to back up his reasoning, but with the war losing as hopeless as ever (in terms of resolution), jobs not being created despite massive spending, the unpopularity of Bush's medicare plan among seniors, Dean's popularity on college campuses, his fundraising ability etc. all he needs is Clark to cover his rear and a united dem party and Bush could go down swinging. Repubs complain about Dem candidates calling Bush a miserable failure and the worst president in 30+ years, but the only reason they're saying it is because there is some truth in it.
