18. Because Mr. MBNA is a corporate shill and that would negate Obama's pledge
to work for the people and not the corporations. Wes Clark, on the other hand, has not been in Washington for decades. He is not beholden to special interests because he doesn't hold a political office. What he does have is foreign policy credentials that are unmatched. And he does have special characteristics that would help Obama in the South and with lower-class voters and Independents who tend to believe that Iraq is the #1 issue. Speaking of which, Clark has *always* been against the war and Biden hasn't. Biden, in my view, is much more suited as the Secretary of State. I have always held this view and I will continue to stand by it. He brings so much more to the table that way because he has been a great negotiator and understands foreign policy, though he botched Iraq, I think he can redeemed himself.
