OMG! Wes Clark is VP!!

[redstate_democrat]

Oh my god is this a rumor or is it true? This name seems to be the consensus right now. What happened??? I'm HAPPY none the less. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I'M FREAKING OUT! YEA!!!!

[gateley]

1. I think it's only true here on DU and some other blogs and OpEds --

Unless you've heard something differently? Don't get my hopes up!

[redstate_democrat]

14. I'm on a listserv and that's all that is being talked about.

I wonder if it's just a rumor? My BB was abuzz and I rushed home in midtown traffic thinking it was all over television or something. I just KNEW DU would be talking about it. OMG I'M SO EXCITED IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!

[gateley]

21. I think it's an internet phenom. We'd have heard if it were true.

Take a deep breath - we just have to wait until Obama texts those millions of supporters. THEN there will be no doubt!

[redstate_democrat]

25. Ahh DAMN! I still think it's true. All this talk can't be for no reason.

I'm praying that Clark is it. OMG! :D

[gateley]

28. All this talk is confined to the Internet -

and it CAN be for no reason. It generally is. :pals:

[redstate_democrat]

29. noooooo

:cry:

[gateley]

33. Don't believe what I say --

just go see if you can find confirmation other than blogs and OpEds. I could be wrong.

Don't do this to yourself. You'll only be MORE hurt if Obama chooses someone else.

[Clark2008]

36. Since when has the media been correct?

Blogs seem to be more on top of things these days than any media outlet.

:shrug:

Just saying...

[tblue]

2. What? Where'd you hear this?

Me Clarkie, too.

[SharonRB]

3. Where did you hear that?

Sources?

It would make me happy, but I haven't seen anything anywhere yet.

Related to Wed nite at dem con.

[Thrill]

4. I didn't get the text. So I still think they go with Kaine

[SharonRB]

I hope not

I'm hoping for Clark or Biden.

[gateley]

9. Oh yeah, the text. Forgot about that "early warning" system in place.

And here I was furiously checking Reuters, CNN, MSNBC. :7 :hi:

[kerry-is-my-prez]

5. Don't get too excited - you'll get your heart ripped out - I know from experience.

I've had my heart ripped out soooo many times by getting my hopes up for Clark.

I'm trying not to get too excited. Two weeks ago - I told myself to forget about Clark ever getting anywhere again. Of course - then it would happen....

[Sparkly]

11. Oh, I hear that. nt

[redstate_democrat]

17. Please don't get my hopes down.

I don't want my heart broken. I love Wes Clark! OMG OMG OMG! I'm so excited.

[book_worm]

6. Could you give some background? I'm not sure what you are talking about.

[babylonsister]

7. HOW do you know that? Because of a theme? Calm down. You

might be disappointed otherwise.

Who knows? No one's really talking.

[Christa]

8. I cannot find any verification

But Please LET IT BE WES :loveya:

[doublethink]

10. Link please ..... or as soon as you get it ... we're holding you to it.

Peace. :)

[Lost-in-FL]

12. I only hope you are right. n/t

[RB TexLa]

13. Are you kidding? He shouldn't even be in the party

I've heard him say good things about both Bill and Hillary Clinton. Sounds like a God Damn Clinton loving republican to me!!


In case you're too stupid to know it's :sarcasm:

[FrenchieCat]

15. It is not the case,

and whether it will be, I'm not betting on it.

But I will be happy with whomever it is.

[IndianaGreen]

22. Although I don't expect him to be Veep, it would be awesome!

Wes Clark is great!

[anonymous171]

16. I hope so.

[LSparkle]

18. GREAT ticket if true ... I'm still a Biden fan but Clark would KICK ASS

As he so ably proved to Bob Schieffer. That guy is a former
NATO ALLIED SUPREME COMMANDER -- he bows to no one (least of
whom Bomb Bomb McLame!).

In light of the Georgian crisis, this would be an EXCELLENT
pick. (I'm sure Clark can at least PRONOUNCE "Saakashvili"!)

[gateley]

26. Agree and agree --

and Clark is the ONLY one in the potential mix who could not only match, but OUTDO McCain in the military area. There's no comparison to their service.

[kwolf68]

19. Horrible post.

What is the OP talking about? Makes a post exclaiming "Wes Clark is VP!!" only to ask the question in the actual post "is the rumor true?"

Horrible.

[DCBob]

20. Hope so!!

Clark would be great!! Obama/Clark would be sure winner in my opinion. The Repubs fear this matchup the most. It diminishes McCain's perceived advantage in military matters. His only big advantage.

[CakeGrrl]

23. Nothing's for sure until Team Obama sends out the confirmation email

Everyone's buzzing because the theme of Wed. Convention night is the same phrase as Clark's PAC site, but there are a lot of people who think it's another red herring.

[Occam Bandage]

24. I hate bullshit fake-outs like this. I like Clark, but doubt he'll be VP.

[redstate_democrat]

27. Don't be mean to me. ;) I'm just excited and Clark is blowing up right now.

God, he must be it!

[Occam Bandage]

30. There have been a dozen blow-ups so far, from Biden to Kaine to Bayh.

They're just keeping interest high. The only people who know jack shit about this are Obama, Axelrod, Plouffe, and maybe a few other close confidants. Any leaks or buzz that you read are likely to be nothing more than chum for the media sharks.

[gateley]

34. You're right. And then they get recycled. nt

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

32. There's no one better than Wes

for VP. Make it so, Mr. Obama!

[liberalmuse]

35. Clark as VP seems to be the one thing people here are in agreement on.

Not everyone, mind you, but you don't see anti-Clark posts. Just a couple people concerned that his statement about McCain several weeks ago might be a problem. I don't see it. Clark handled the backlash quite well. The man's fearless that way.

[bowens43]

37. Other then here on DU, no one even knows who he is.

I really can't think of worse choice then Clark

[Clark2008]

41. Then you don't live in the South or the Southwest.

Or you dont' get out much.

[emilyg]

38. OMG OMG OMG

dUMB.

[redstate_democrat]

39. I guess you're not excited?

:shrug:

[indie_voter]

40. I love your excitement. I hope events pan out, I'll share your excitement! :) n/t
