Reply #39: Hurt him?

[Donna Zen]

I don't think he was ever being considered so maybe the question is moot. But if it is still alive, it will hurt him more with the people in the North, East and West who have all of the "Support our Troops" bumper stickers on their cars. They will not vote for someone who cannot get our troops out, and Dean's lack of experience will not seal the deal. They will stay home, or stay with them that brung 'em.

Remember: in order to put a Democrat in office, there must be a move of about 10% of the military vote which is a huge vote in this country. Dean has never had that appeal.

I talked to a guy the other night who's son, an old student of mine, is in Mosol. It was an awful conversation. The man was so angry his eyes were red. He told me that his kid always asks what we are hearing on TV. While the kid can't say much, he does just grunt and let's his dad know that in non-verbal ways that we are being feed a bunch of bull.

If I could, I would move General Clark into the WH tomorrow. I want someone who actually knows what they are doing guiding the policy that can get the world out of this mess. I want the troops home, because I liked this soldier in Mosol very much. I like his dad and mom too.

Many people here don't understand who General Clark is. The don't understand, or won't let themselves understand, that he is one of the world's statesmen and a very caring person, who feels deeply about what it happening in our country and to our sons and daughters.

Stay safe.
