51. As a Clark supporter you should be pissed at the Clinton's and their supporters
They egged Clark to get into the race (and funded him as long as he hired their consultants - so basically they were paying themselves to push a candidate who was not prepared to take on John Kerry/John Edwards/Howard Dean) and advised him not to run in Iowa as Clinton had chosen not to do in 1992 (w/out explaining the reasons for Clinton's absence in the state when our Favorite Son Tom Harkin was running). As soon as he performed poorly in NH they bailed on him fast leaving him with an enormous campaign debt that they did not help him clean up.

In 2007 as he contemplated entering this race they all ignored him. He's still in debt and was poorly used and tossed aside. He's an incredibly smart man and I hope the next Democratic President can find a way to work him into their cabinet (even though I think he needs a couple more years out of active service before he can serve as Sec. of Defense).
