Reply #1: I long thought that it would come down to those two

With Clark's entry into the race, I believe it will likely be between the three of them now. Clark hasn't raised very much, but for someone just entering, he's doing remarkable well in polls, in media attention, etc.

Clark's positions on issues, contrary to the Dean campaign's assertions that the two of them agreed on so much, are incredibly close to Kerry's positions.

IMO, Kerry would make the best President - temperment, experience, knowledge, etc. Clark to me is an acceptable second place, and I would still be happy. Dean, while he would be miles better than Bush, would be one of the worst Presidents given the facts on the ground today. And I still question, regardless of the claims to the contrary, whether or not he can beat Bush.
