16. He's said from nearly the day he announced that he would keep his
Edited on Fri Nov-14-03 05:13 PM by lunabush
commitment. I think he is right to do so. I believe this is the same issue addressed months ago. I confess that I am leaning towards Clark but the folks who are annoyed at this tend to be anti-Clark anyway so I am not certain it is deal killer for his campaign - I don't know how NH as an electorate will feel about this, but it can't help.
