26. That's not how Presidents are elected...
Edited on Mon Jul-21-03 08:02 AM by familydoctor
by vast numbers of Americans. For
politicos like us, sure we "focus on
the issues". But many, many voters
don't focus on this. Rather, they have
a couple of litmus-test issues
(abortion, gun control, terrorism, etc.)
and thenvote on a hunch -- this may be where
Clark shines -- the hunch factor.

He looks great on paper and in real
life. He is not a career politician.
He actually has the "know-how" to get
us out of Iraq with the "mission accomplished"
while re-establishing Trans-Atlantic
ties and strengthening the UN and NATO.

I am not going to put any candidates down
but I want you to ask yourself that if your
candidate were put in front of the vast
majority of "non-political", albeit partisan,
people, would he/she pass "the hunch test"? That
is up to you and your conscience to decide.

:)
