Well, if you are on any number of mailing lists, you know that Obama is on the verge of announcing his running mate. I don't ask for much in this world: that my children lead a long, healthy and happy life, that Hollywood stops re-making films and TV shows which are nostalgic and sentimental to me, that Wes Anderson picks a song from my band to be in one of his films, that the Washington Capitals win the Stanley cup before I'm too old too old to appreciate it, and that Dick Cheney does jail time. But now I would like to add one more thing to the list. Please, please, please let Wes Clark become Obama's vice presidential candidate. I won't bore you with all the details of why I admire him - you can research him yourself and make up your own mind. But if he's on the ticket, I'm joining the Obama/Clark army.
UPDATE AS OF AUGUST 27, 2008
Well, last night Joe Biden accepted the nomination for Vice President. While initially disappointed - I can see now why Obama chose him. I think he will make a formidable partner...and even though he wasn't my first choice...they will still be able to count me among their loyal foot soldiers.
