I am throwing my support behind Wesley Clark (not merely because of this, that is, but it's a good quote).

"If [Republican strategist] Karl Rove is watching today, Karl, I want you to hear me loud and clear: I am going to provide tax cuts to ease the burdens for 31 million American families -- and lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty -- by raising the taxes on 0.1 percent of families -- those who make more than $1,000,000 a year. You don't have to read my lips, I'm saying it," Clark said.

My impression is that neither Clark/Dean ticket is going to happen, because these guys both have excessively large egos and there's been too much friction between the campaigns over it already. But who knows; I'd have said the same thing about Reagan/Bush in 1980.

Government-wise (as opposed to politics-wise), the best thing might be for either one to have a cabinet-level post in the other's administration; say Clark as Secretary of Defense, State or national security advisor, or Dean as Secretary of HHS.

By the way, the rumor-mill buzz has been that Dean's likely to pick Bob Graham as a running mate if nominated. It makes a kind of sense.

Other people have been urging him to pick Jesse Jackson Jr., but I don't think that's gonna happen.
