He would have won, Kerry would have won with Gephardt polls were showing CO and OH and NV and NM winnable, also VA

That could of been the first Election OH Lost it's bellweather to VA or CO

Kerry Edwards would have won before the Bin Laden tape, but Edwards had no Military expertise

[Sir Mohamed]

Clark wins all states Kerry did and IA, no change otherwise. While the same "weak on defense" messaging from the W campaign wouldn't have worked so well against Clark, I honestly don't see him gaining much more voters in the states that mattered.

I think Wesley Clark would’ve been a fantastic VP pick for Kerry but no I don’t think he would have won by himself

[OSR stands with Israel]

If he picked the right VP, I could see him winning, though by the skin of his teeth. A VP from the midwest who could give the tickets credentials on domestic policy could flip IA, likely NM, and OH, which would be enough to beat Bush, so long as they hit him hard enough on Iraq and the weak recovery from the "Dotcom" recession.
