Reply #9: Two things

One: Is there any way you can reduce that pic? It's really big.

Two: I found this great report about Clark's AZ appearance last night on a yahoo group. Here is the link and part of the post: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wesleyclark2004/message/4...

When he was introduced he came by through the area I was standing (which I scoped out). When he was going through the throngs of people to get to the area to speak he had sort of a 'glazed' look, like he was still in NH mode of insanity of the masses. When he was passed me and offered me his hand, I took it in both of mine and said "welcome back to Arizona and congrats on NH!"...he stopped for just a moment, looked me in the eyes and said "thank you" very quietly...he then took a moment to LOOK at each of the people
whose hands he was taking and he was 'back'.

People reacted as they always do...screaming, chanting, clapping , near hysteria. I spoke to a captive group prior to him coming about what he would do for them once they met him...afterwards they came to me and told me they have never been so moved in their lives.

The magic is still with him! His passion is still there and bigger then ever. The bottom line is we need to win BIG on February 3rd...

He spoke well (although his voice is not good) and his famous smile was absolutely radiant last nite...he was funny, serious, caring, passionate...the vets in the crowd were crying and I was privileged to hear a few of them tell him THANK YOU for running. One young man who I believe had just gotten out and was in Iraqi, politely interrupted him for a moment (this was when photos were being taken) and told him he had just returned and who he served with...he said 'Sir, I just want to tell you that what you are doing means everything to us vets and thank you"..then he turned to leave (this young man was humbling)...The General who was two or three people from him said, "wait, come here, and the young man looked at him and the General offered his hand and pulled the guy to him in a hug and said "thank you", for what YOU have done for this country...the young man got tears in his eyes as did the General...as did I!!! God how moving. He SO loves the military men and women....
