75. Don't buy your rhetoric.
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 08:57 AM by Clark2008
First, why does the former head of NATO need to run for any office before running for president? He's already, effectively, been a governor in his role as Supreme Allied Commander. IN fact, other than Dean and Graham, he was the only 2004 primary candidate to have executive experience.
Secondly, maybe if mainstream Dems would get their heads out of their asses, stop watching corporate media and read Clark's position papers, they would realize that he's more than a military man; thus, the frequent posting of his website. Clarkies are trying to get this message out because the corporate media won't.
Finally, Clark already has a base - just look at his following here.

Oh, and if you want to beat the Republican in the GE in 2008, you'd best be trying to find someone who will bring in new voters and that means including the red states in campaigns (50-state strategy, like Dean advocates). Having a liberal who is perceived as a moderate is the best route to making in-roads into states dominated by right-wing media (i.e. - the "red" states.)
