6. Yep
I read your post. And I've read other posts of yours on the same or similar subjects. And I've read the by-now nearly a hundred "concerned about Clark" posts.

The problem is they are all based on bullshit the posters are getting from the right wing. I must have typed this sentence ten times: Clark was a military man. He was not ALLOWED to engage in politics. So before he left the military of course he is a blank slate. And that was only three years ago. I don't believe he even registered with either party.

I trust what Blumenthal said about him. Blumenthal's book was written before Clark even thought of running. And Blumenthal describes him as progressive and not a yes=man to the point he put his own career on the line and did what he thought was right. He brought Milosovich to his knees and got fired by the petty jealous brass in the Pentagon.

That shows me courage and conviction. And I like that. Still don't know enough about his domestic policies, but I'm willing to give him a chance that has nothing to do with "concern" that he spoke at a Republican fundraiser. Oh and by the way....Read Josh's talkingpoints today. He has the story. Clark ALSO spoke at a Democratic fundraiser at the same time. For Gods sake, he was the hero of the Kosovo war. EVERYONE wanted him to appear.
