It's hard for one candidate to be strong on both foreign policy and issues at home. That is where a VP and Secretary of State come into play. As long as the candidate is an even keeled kind of person and willing/able to listen his/her carefully chosen advisors all should be fine.

That's true, I can imagine that having people like Kerry, Obama and Bill Clinton "on board" - in addition to a foreign policy wonk VP and Sec. of State - could be pretty useful for that. But ultimately the president should have a solid strategic vision of their own and the president will inevitably have to make some hard calls where making the "right" call depends a lot on the ability of the president to understand and appreciate nuances of the interests involved.
