2. Using that logic, I guess that Clark supporters could label
Edited on Tue Oct-21-03 03:43 PM by boxster
Dean supporters' "attacks" on Clark as envy of Clark's relatively easy, quick rise in the polls right after he announced his candidacy.

Neither assertion is realistic. Flatly dismissing the other candidates as "just" envious is simplistic.

Any strong candidate is a threat to the candidacy of every other candidate. Supporters believe in their candidates for a myriad of reasons and certainly defend them and criticize the other candidates because of a multitude of issues and differences of opinion.

Envy is very likely not high on the list of reasons why.
