General Wesley Clark certainly has a compelling story, and a war record that surpasses that of John McCain. Clark's been a powerful ally to Obama and would make a great choice to bring liberals solidly into the Obama tent. But can he draw votes? That's the question.While I personally believe that Wes is a perfect fit for the VP role, and will pull in the excitement and dedication of We The Netroots (see comment threads here and here and visit the Obama/Clark website), it's true that his Washington inexperience may be somewhat of a questionable factor to the general electorate. Then there's that whole McCain POW comment the media's been jumping all over.
However, based on his extensive military resume and his certain ability to outshine McCain for the rest of this election, I think the better take on it should be that he can keep the votes intact.
