49. I don't necessarily see the Clark people dispersing
Many of them here are moving to the Kerry camp, but are still choosing to maintain their identities as Clark Democrats. I'm not seeing that as disloyalty, and I think many of them are committed to remaining involved in grassroots political activism that is based on the values that Clark has brought to the forefront of political discourse.

It is possible to be for Kerry and still be a Clark Democrat. after all, Clark is.:)

Anyway, it really does look like Clark intends to retain a very active role in Democratic party politics. I think he has the potential to help bring about some really important fundamental changes, and that we have the opportunity to participate in that.

I am definitely planning on remaining active as a Clark Democrat. I have never been politically involved before, and Clark gave me a reason to be. Our own Colorado group is planning on remaining cohesive and active. So is my mother's group in Syracuse NY.

I think at some stage, the Clark and the Dean people might be able to form some sort of alliance for grassroots politics, and to fundamentally change the way things are done. I think both Dean and Clark have helped to awaken something very powerful and new in American politics.
