50. Remember Reagan was a Democrat
Who became the leader of the new conservative movement and moved the Republican party as well as the Democratic party indeed the whole nation much farther to the right and we continue that move to this day.

Wes Clark could very well be the mirror image of Ronald Reagan.

Personally I think the fact that he says he voted for Reagan is a positive. It could very well make a lot of Republicans, conservatives and people who used to vote for Democrats for President more likely to vote for a Democrat again, in the same way that Reagan got many Democrats to vote for a Republican.

Again - Clark is a Liberal Progressive! For God's sake man he was the only candidate in the last election, that I ever saw, defend liberalism itself in a very strong and cogent way.

We missed a golden opportunity once, I only pray that we're smart enough not to miss it the next time it comes around because we won't have another chance.
