68. I agree mostly
The article made it seem he was a pretty small player, for small high-tech companies as opposed to the giants like Bechtel or Halliburton. If he promoted alternative energy vehicles, good for him. Clark is no better, and no worse, than most of the candidates I would expect. This is certainly business as usual, and there's no way that Clark could have done it otherwise I expect. It's still crony capitalism at it's rankest, especially since it's in the military, which shouldn't be a profit center for well connected companies.

"He's missing the 'industry' part of the military-industrial complex. I know that the Bushistas have both sides of that. "

I don't think his missing the industry part, but he sure as hell isn't doing the same thing as Bush right now. But I was under the impression that Clark had some clout and power, and if he doesn't, he'll just be a puppet for the DLC - that's the job of VP, remember Lieberman?
