Reply #19: Yep, that's my view at the moment

leaning toward Dean, hoping that Clark gets into it. I'm not troubled by his possible delay in doing it, I think he's a man who will pick his moment. A colleague who does poltical consulting said to remember two things: Bush* is right--don't launch a new product in the summer and Dean is riding high so his advice as far back as early June would have been to wait until later this year. He assures me that the "money people" will still be there if this guy has a chance and that the "little money people" will be there if they get excited and they won't with the Dean juggernaut of the moment. Interesting.

Whatever you think of Clark, by the way, the poster is correct that these sorts of spirited witty soundbite lines WILL play well in Peoria---and Birmingham, Boston, Albuquerque and even Houston.
