1. It's not over yet guys!!!!!

It's not over until ALL 301 precincts have called it in!

[maddogesq]

5. Damn right it isn't. Even a tie for third makes things interesting to.

Especially true when they get to the southern states.

Hang in there General.

[SW FL Dem]

60. Bob Dole Trashing Clark on CNN now

Why do I watch this stuff?

[MidwestMomma]

104. Please...do not say the B D name tonight

He said "A lot of Clark supporters have DESERTED him". That is low even for him. Bet Clark never had to take Viagra...Hah, take that BD!

[Carolina]

126. BD is really low,

remember he started is political career as an attack dog congressman who idolized Richard Nixon! Enough said.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

324. BD had to be drafted before he went to WWII

He was wounded in Italy so I guess he deserves some respect as a winner of the Purple Heart but he's got a lot of gall criticizing other vets.

[janx]

15. That's right. I think it's unfortunate that the media make

these calls so early.

Hang in there until the votes are all in and see what happens.

[SW FL Dem]

Bob Dole trashing Clark on CNN Larry King now

Why do I watch this stuff??

[maddezmom]

2. We've only just started

the train is pulling in to SC....CHOO-CHOO!!! Go Wes! :)

[Jerseycoa]

18. A $2M ticket, too

Nothing's too good for our General :)

[pmbryant]

3. Looks like geography carried the day today

The local candidates blew every one else away. Not too surprising I guess, in hindsight.

It is still a 4-way fight, and Clark is very much in it!

--Peter

[lovedems]

4. All I want is for him to continue to the south and west.

I think he will do much better there. That's all, I am not asking much am I?

[funky_bug]

6. Hey, if we gotta go down in 4th...

At least we go down fighting... only 252 votes separate us.

[funky_bug]

7. Make that 238

CNN just updated... small jump for Clark!

[SW FL Dem]

16. I'm not giving up!!

A close fourth isn't a reason for despair.

[lovedems]

17. Don't you think considering how well Edwards did in Iowa, that says

alot about Clark?

I am so glad it doesn't appear to be a blow-out. I am proud of his results tonight. Edwards is one good guy.

[Clark4Prez]

8. I feel surprising good

We are giving it a good run and who knows, we may get third yet. Even if it's fourth, we have only begun to fight.

[MrSlayer]

9. Not over by a long shot.

But man some of that sleaze had to stick. I thought we'd get 3rd without a fight and maybe 2nd. Just got to roll it up and move on to the next spot. Have to kick some ass on February 3rd.

[Democrats unite]

10. I think no matter what the outcome

Clark did great, considering when he entered the race.

[madmax]

11. I'm going to stick with Clark and see what happens.

:toast: to General Wes Clark.

[meti57b]

28. I will vote for Clark.

The primaries are just getting started.

[Woodstock]

247. Don't give up! Clark will do much better in the primaries ahead

It isn't over yet!

[truebrit71]

333. Good for you!!!

That's the spirit!!

Look, he skipped Iowa (good move) and ampaigned bis butt off against two local boys and came in third...anything higher would have been a gift...

Next Tuesday is when we start to sort out the wheat from the chaff...

GO WES GO!!!!

[bigwillq]

12. Clark will fight another day

Keep your heads up and believe in the political system. As a Dean fan I wish you well next week.

[knight_of_the_star]

13. We can win!!!!!

Wes isn't out of the fight just yet!!!

[cally]

14. It's basically a tie between Clark and Edwards

and then they go south and west where Clark does better. The home state candidates won. It's going to be tough, but I think Clark can still do well.

[SW FL Dem]

20. Look how Kerry turned it around.

I'm here for the long haul. I'll switch IF Wes leaves the race.

[knight_of_the_star]

19. We will win something that no one will expect, don't worry!!!

Take this how you will, I had a dream that Wes would surprise everyone today with his finish, and not in a bad way. And I've been having that dream ever since the Iowa Caucus.

[Myra]

21. Hey guys, for a four month old campaign; for a guy the Hos hate

And the RNC/and Hos smear constantly.
He's still in the race.

Let's go to the Feb 3 states and kick butt!

[David Zephyr]

22. You Guys Are Awesome!

Next week General Clark will show the pundits how useless their opinions are!

This Dean supporter salutes you all. You have a truly great American as your candidate.

Don't event think for one single moment of getting down.

Look at how the Dean suporters took the crap last week. We didn't give it second thought.

General Clark is also being maligned unfairly in the media.

Stand tall. I salute you all! :hi:

Soldier on!

---David Zephyr

:toast: :toast:

[knight_of_the_star]

24. Thank you!

We will not surrender until it is over!

[funky_bug]

26. Thanks, David!

I'm glad Dean bounced back so well, and you're post means a lot!

[incapsulated]

32. Thanks David!

:hi:

[Myra]

45. Thank you David!

Much appreciated.

[MidwestMomma]

52. Thanks for the encouraging words

I've been impressed by the Dean people stickin' with their man and look, he came back from the media pronouncing him DOA. Good luck!

[ronnykmarshall]

88. Thanks, David!

We'll all be together soon, fighting to beat Bush!

[For PaisAn]

303. thank you

As a Clark supporter I have a lot of respect for Howard Dean and appreciate your encouraging words.

[funky_bug]

23. Clark just jumped!!!

Edwards had him by 500, now there are only 166 votes difference.

[incapsulated]

37. I think I'm gonna hurl again! n/t

[lastknowngood]

25. If you stay close to pretty boy Edwards tonight

you can take S.C. but Clark needs to smothe out his presentation.
I like him a lot and wish him well

[incapsulated]

27. Ok, this was tough

But it's ok. The media will be all over Clark, but do not despair.

Our true primary is Feb. 3 and Super Tuesday.

We regroup, work hard and keep our heads up. The strategy remains in place, it never counted on a big show in NH.

Go Clark! Go Clarkies!

:)

[dawn]

29. It will be interesting to watch the races in the South

I support Edwards but Clark's my second choice.

Tonight's results are interesting! If either guy gets third, I'll be happy.

[tekriter]

30. Hope that Wes comes to Missouri

we're up next Tuesday, and I will happily take a day off work to go see him if he comes anywhere near St. Louis.

Only other time I met a general was when I was an E-2 in the USAF and was in the process of cutting grass in front of the base commander's office. General Bryan M. Shotts told me I was doing a good job.

33% - 177

[genius]

33. Good luck and hang in there. We may wind up with a brokered convention

and who knows who will be the nominee.

[Carolina]

147. actually not a bad scenario

not having a nominee decided until the convention keeps the pundit and GOP/RNC whores guessing and confused and contracts the time the repukes will have to hurl their vicious well-funded ads at our team!

[Woodstock]

280. Maybe you are right but I hope they don't attack each other

too badly. That's my biggest fear, that they will be seen as brawling with each other and people will get turned off.

[TacticalPeek]

34. Local guy wins. Big deal. Local guy gets second.

Seriously, congratulations Kerry and Dean supporters! :toast:


However, after 03 FEB 04 the regional and demographic effects will have evened out somewhat, and by March, more so.

Its what struggle is for, and its worth it.

[HuckleB]

35. Keep on trucking, Clark supporters!

NH is one small primary. Wes can and will pick it up in the coming weeks.

Best of luck to Wes and company!

Cheers!

[Ilsa]

36. Clark will do very well in the South and West.

He'll be appreciated in Texas and the central south as long as the pundits don't auto-nom Kerry.

And we need more beefcake photos to bring in more women's votes!

[Skwmom]

38. Remember the word was out for Bush supporters

to vote for Lieberman and Edwards to try to knock off Clark.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

39. Not bad for his first primary....I think he's only going to do better

:toast:

[Mz Pip]

40. I am a proud

Clark supporter and wish him well in the South.

IT ain't over til it's over.

MzPip
:dem:

[Myra]

43. I'm proud too. He did a helluva job for his first *ever* election primary

For Prez no less! :)

Kick ass on Feb 3.

[Leilani]

41. I'm feeling better than yesterday

The pundits had written him off completely.

Kerry & Dean have been in politics for years & are local guys.

Clark, 1st time candidate, is hanging in with Edwards, a Senator who has been pumped up by the media, & is a good guy.

[KT2000]

42. Onward!

Congrats to the General for a dignified and intelligent campaign in NH. On to the states where he will fare better.

What does anyone think that the Bush campaign is going to do with all their money? A big chunk will be spent on destroying our candidates - one by one. By the time they are through with their lies, media cooperation and innuendo - how many will be left standing?

This is a long race and we need many of our candidates to carry on and my first choice is still Clark. Feb 7 is my caucus date!

Looks like a wave function in a computer program.

(Just kidding.)

[funky_bug]

46. This is killing me!

We can't seem to break that 200 vote difference! It's back and forth and I think I will explode any moment.

[Bonobo]

63. As y'know, the diff between 3 and 4 is purely symbolic...

It doesn't make a difference in the end. 7 days from now. That will be SO much bigger. We should save our strength for then.

[Duncan Grant]

47. Hurray for Clark and his supporters!!!

:yourock: :toast:

49. Clark to my DYING day!!!!

[Jack_Dawson]

54. You go!!!

[Jack_Dawson]

50. Clark within 198

[webkev]

51. Wes Clark is Best

[kentuck]

53. Clark needs a change in strategy.....

I think he would have won 3rd place easily if he had not been torn down by the media.

[OKNancy]

56. I agree...and the strategy should be to

fight back...he should get meaner. I know he tries to be above all that, but sometimes you have to strike back!

[LandOLincoln]

57. It wasn't just the media attacking Wes, it was also

the media playing up the "electability" of Kerry and Edwards post Iowa.

Just heard on NPR that a lot of voters were swayed by that, and voted their heads rather than their hearts (their words). I'm getting more and more afraid next Tuesday is going to be more of the same.

And if this article is right (and I fear it is) that's exactly what the Dark Side has had planned all along:

http://www.moderateindependent.com/v2i2mediawatch.htm

[MidwestMomma]

71. Read the article...They are dead on about tonight

Waiting for the attacks on Kerry to begin and the Edwards push to begin.

I'd be scared but I know the General wouldn't want that. He is an unexpected quantity that they're are not quite sure how to defeat.

Remember, early today they said Clark was DOA. He looks pretty alive to me. He's tied with Edwards who came into the race with much more political experience AND the Iowa bounce.

Plus, Clark has a secret weapon. I live in Kansas...right across the stateline from Missouri. And I will be hitting the streets for Clark!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

59. Look at all the crap that was thrown at him and he still is either 3rd

or a close 4th behind Edwards - who's been lauded by the media and by his Iowa bounce.

[LandOLincoln]

61. Sorry--dupe.

[MidwestMomma]

55. Carville pointed out so far only 1% of delegates have been assigned

I think he said 252 delegates up for grabs next Tuesday. Clark is just going to get better and better. For the Invisible candidate, he is doing great!

And remember, whatever happens tonight, we'll always have Dixville! :-)

(I need a "Remember Dixville" button!)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

332. I certainly hope so.

Clark has my vote in the Washington State caucus Feb. 7.

[Jack_Dawson]

58. Why Has Everyone Annointed Edwards as 3rd Place Finisher?

Clark is behind by 200 votes. THAT IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF!!!!!!

:argh:

[BootinUp]

Bob Dole on CNN just repeated 3 times, unclear who is third yet.

[rolodomo]

64. Within 150!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tatiana]

77. 134 down...... n/t

[henslee]

65. Which numbskull pundit said Clark should throw in the towel? Ha!

He has survived a tough week, tenaciously and with plenty of poise, no doubt learing alot. He is hanging in the back of the pack.

Not only are we heading South but we've got the newest flavor.... Clark has not had the exposure others have had and I think he will shine in the spotlight.

The guy did jumping jacks for votes for crying out loud.

[funky_bug]

OMG!!! Just now on CNN - Clark is now in 3rd!!!

[knight_of_the_star]

69. Huzzah!!!!!!!

Drinks are on me!

:beer:

:toast: to victory!!!

[funky_bug]

70. We've got 71 votes more than Edwards!!! We are up to 13% and Edwards at 12

Let's hope it keeps going, and we can push to 15%!!!

[funky_bug]

101. 186 MORE VOTES

THAN EDWARDS NOW, GUYS! I THINK EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPITALIZATION IS IN ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO CLARK GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[democratreformed]

YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

92. Clark is FINALLY on the first page of the CNN results

I'm so happy!

Go Wes!

[kentuck]

103. Oh, I hope Clark finishes in third !

That will be spitting in the eye of those that said he was "through" and "sinking like the Hindenburg". Revenge is a dish best served cold. :)

[knight_of_the_star]

66. Remember Dixville!!!

When things are looking down for us, remember Dixville!!!

[MidwestMomma]

83. We got to get some buttons people...

Go Wes!

90. Check out my sig nt

[MidwestMomma]

187. That just tickles me pink!

I just love all the Clark supporters. I think they are a reflection of their candidate....strong, positive and ever hopeful.

[shoopnyc123]

67. Does anyone else feel the sort of "Nader Effect" with...

say Lieberman? Where would those votes have gone?

[OKNancy]

68. only 131 difference now

and they still have Edwards at 13, Clark at 12...I think it is pretty even percentage at these totals

[knight_of_the_star]

73. Please win Wes!!!

I'm at the edge of my seat right now!!!

[OKNancy]

78. Damn- I write too slow Clark pulling up

I bet the rural districts are reporting

Also I wonder about absentee...do they do those later like in most states?

[Auntie Bush]

72. Clark is in third place!!!!!

clark 13,977....Edwards 13,928

Wow!!!What a horse Race!!!!
Go Wes Go

[not systems]

84. Go Clark Go!

I'm pulling for you to get third.

We need more outsiders in the race.

[sistersofmercy]

75. Hey Clark supporters, it's not over! I believe Clark will gather some

steam from Feb 3rd, Good Luck! I like your man!

[ronnykmarshall]

102. And I like your man, too!

:loveya:

89. This amazing, tight race will be good publicity tonight...

for both Clark and Edwards!!

[BigMcLargehuge]

91. Congrats with your finish Clark supporters.

Great campaign so far. I hope he picks up some steam as the primary moves south. The last week or so has been very positive for Gen Clark. He's done lots of radio and public appearances.

Good job campaigners, and good luck supporters!
:)

[in_cog_ni_to]

98. Thank You Big

that was very kind. I hope he can hang on. It's only a 90 vote lead!!! Damn...Now I have a headache from STRESS!!!!!!!!!

203. that's right

y'all, the Kerry train will stall here in SC next week and our guy will surge (Fritz Hollings endorsement notwithstanding).

On a side note, I have C-SPAN on in the background with Kerry speaking to his supporters. Why am I gagging?

[Lisa0825]

99. Congratulations, Clark supporters!

Ya'll have had a rough ride just like we Dean supporters have! Our guys are both fighters and survivors! I want to see both of them going the distance! Look at the reversals Kerry's support has done! Anything is still possible!:toast:

Sorry, I can be as low a BD too.

BD--Code word for you know who...I refuse to speak his name.

141. So is Blitzer. "If Clark comes in 3rd I am sure he will announce it

as some big victory."

Well, gee, wouldn't be since you guys have been calling him DOA and clamoring for him to drop out.

Jesus jumped up Christ, how do they stand themselves?

I'll announce it as a miracle!

Come on guys... this is what GOOD KARMA looks like!

This is for ALL our hard work being so nice to the other supporters on DU!!!

[funky_bug]

144. HOLY JEEBUS!!! UP 688 NOW!!!

I have no words... NO words!

[xultar]

139. Clark's press secretary is good, he told him Kerry was about to go on and

not to start.

[Jack_Dawson]

145. Clark's Press Secretary is Awesome

Jason Something...he's really good.

[Kathleen04]

150. Good..

They were making me nervous.

[incapsulated]

153. God bless him! :) n/t

[rolodomo]

154. Good move...

I was afraid they would not catch it and Clark would miss his chance to be televised.

[Tatiana]

156. Thank goodness.

I just can't believe all the negativity I'm hearing from the mediawhores on ALL the networks: Faux, CNN, and especially MSNBC with Tweety. No one, not ONE single commentator has had anything remotely positive to say about Clark.

This is an orchestrated conspiracy and the Clark campaign must have a response readybefore Feb. 3rd. The media is trying to take down Wes, and it's just so painfully obvious that they have no shame whatsoever regarding their agenda. Clark has surged to third place but somehow they are still trying to paint him out as a loser.

Fuck 'em.

[blm]

274. Congrats on the showing.

.

[rolodomo]

142. Clark going out when Kerry about to speak?

That was a bone-headed move on the part of someone in Clark's staff.

[democratreformed]

143. 688 vote spread!!!

[Jack_Dawson]

149. Clark comes in 3rd against Homeboy and Homeboy?

I'll take that ANY DAY!!!

[BlueStateGirl]

152. Exactly. He went in expecting a 3rd place show.

[rolodomo]

160. I can't believe how negatively Dole and King were trying to

spin it!

[funky_bug]

70% reporting... hang on guys! We're up 700 exactly!

Only 30% to go and we get our 3rd, and if you remember, that's all we asked for!

[janx]

157. Go Clark Go!!! *eom*

[henslee]

155. On MSNBC, Tweety is whining that the 4 star general is a three star when

it comes to Politics. What hate. What an Agenda. The General will be stronger for all that is thrown at him. I loved the timing of his appearance for the 6:30 West coast news feed. He got split screen with Kerry Camp and he looked way better and energetic.

[Jerseycoa]

161. I was listening to it

Had to turn it off. They are completely vicious. They were horrible about Dean, too.

[in_cog_ni_to]

169. CNN is just as bad

with Bob Dole and his f&*cking attitude. They had Edwards on and Dole couldn't be NICER to him. I thought he would KISS him he was so damn nice. The he makes his nasty SNIDE remarks about Wes. :grr: Dole is FOREVER on my shitlist!

Go Wes!

[Carolina]

213. Dole is a bitter

limp dick loser!

[rolodomo]

175. They don't even want to cover what they LOVE the most...

the extreme horserace between Clark and Edwards!!

[mvd]

159. Clark still has a good chance

Here's to his supporters - I admire your enthusiasm.

Back at you.

[kentuck]

166. If he gets 15%, he gets delegates....Is that possible??

That would be sweet.

[funky_bug]

179. He would get delegates

But Kerry and Dean would have to start dropping off... and I don't want to see Dean tank at all. It's only 1% of the delegates (total in NH) that are up for grabs tonight. What we want is for Dean to take a strong second, and then we take our 3rd place into the SOUTH!

[kentuck]

194. That Lieutenant just got promoted !

Sorry about that Bob Dole! :)

[fabius]

170. Go, Clark! (from a Deaniac).

I really like the General.

Besides, Dean, he's the other candidate that scares the "business as usual" folks.

Good showing and keep on fighting!

[funky_bug]

174. UP UP UP 885!!!!!!!! n/t

[DoYouEverWonder]

180. The media manipulation is apparent

Seems they tried to do everything they can to ignore Clark and despite the media's blatant attempts to build up Rove's preferred candidates, Clark still did well under the circumstances.

Remember McCain won in NH and now he's W's boot licker.

[henslee]

191. Now Fox pundits are dissing Clark for reading his speech abd whining

about his stumping inexperience. GOD FORBID they would ever discuss what he is saying


THEY ARE SCARED OF CLARK. SCARED OF WHAT HE CAN BECOME.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

347. In all fairness to McCain.

He recently said "Bush spends money like a drunken sailor."

Your pictures of Bush on the USS Lincoln only adds fuel to that argument.

[MrSlayer]

183. Who's DEAD??? Who should bow out NOW???? HAHAHA!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

These Repuke reporters make me want to vomit! They are pissing in their collective pants right now. Wait til we get to Wes country.

[John_H]

184. Don't forget this is a third DISPITE the every ounce of the media's power

brought to bear on us. From Dole to Blitzer to Hume to Tweety. All day. Every Day.

[democratreformed]

190. Amen, a GREAT victory

in my mind. Woooo Hoooo!!!!!1

[in_cog_ni_to]

196. AND earlier

Tweety was saying how it would be such a HUGE, HUGE win for EDWARDS. I can't WAIT to hear what he has to say about third place NOW!

Go Wes!!!!!

[Tatiana]

Just wait till we get moving through the South, they'll have to show some respect!

192. A new standard of leadership has got to go!!! Clark Supporters

Please help them come up with something new. Hit CCN with all you have.
Help the campaign....come up something new

[funky_bug]

If I hear that one more time, I'll vomit.

But yeah... it's time for a new jingle!

Clark's my guy but his leadership line is starting to sound like Al Gore's lockbox.

[henslee]

233. yeah but most of the country hasn't heard it...

Why waste good material...

off topic..... Dean is sweating.

[ScreamingMeemie]

193. ..and I have to say, watching this speech, Clark is incredibly

charming. :hi:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever... feel the Joementum!

[teevee99]

210. why I admire clark over L*, E* & K*

Wes Clark has made a good showing for himself in his first election.

remember when he took three days off of campaigning to go testify at the hague against milosovic?

kerry, edwards and lieberman couldn't even take the time last week to go vote for Americans on the omnibus bill. It lost by 3 VOTES! and millions of americans will lose their overtime because of it.

but milosovic will never harm another person.

General Clark is a man I admire and will always tell my children about. He knows what ruly matters. Feb 3rd is our day. people get ready.

cheers, wes!
t~

[in_cog_ni_to]

215. What a great point, teevee99...

on the Omnibus bill. THAT is SHAMEFUL! Those men were elected to serve..."we the people" You're right, Wes is a CLASS ACT. He will ALWAYS do the right thing. I know it in my heart!

Go Wes!

[Jerseycoa]

218. I never thought of that

So true. He really is a BIG man.

[Tatiana]

219. So, true... so true!

Good points. And welcome to DU! :hi:

[teevee99]

223. thanks

but i've actually been here for a while (since june). I don't post a lot, and I lost my previous screenname, so i had to start over:)

go clark!

[1songbird]

214. Go General you rock! n/t

[maddogesq]

227. The Little Army That Could marches on. I am in tears. this is staggering

Go Clark Go. You da man!

[Jerseycoa]

229. Oh, mdogdrum

:cry:

[juajen]

216. On to South Carolina!

Not bad considering the momentum Kerry got out of Iowa, and his newness to the race. Good going, General. I've been a democrat for a long time, and I welcome you to the Democratic Party.

[funky_bug]

217. We're up 904 votes with only 23% left to report!

Hang on guys... we're gonna pull this out!

[BlueStateGirl]

220. It can't end fast enough for me. I am soooo nervous.

[Jerseycoa]

222. I'm dying here nt

[funky_bug]

225. Me too... but we're still holding an 800 - 900 vote lead

and only 20 precincts to go! Hang on!

[in_cog_ni_to]

224. Does he need 15% to get delegates???

Go Wes!

[funky_bug]

232. Yes he does

BUT NH only holds 1% of the total delegates. So it's no sweat off our back if he doesn't make it to 15%. The important thing is this boost we'll get for a 3rd place win. This helps him get an edge on Edwards in the south, and keeps his names in the papers all day tomorrow.

[DeepModem Mom]

226. Wes is pouring his heart into this campaign...

visiting every county in NH yesterday, and ending up at midnight in Dixville Notch. He's not giving up, and neither are we!

[democratreformed]

230. We've only just begun.

We will win!

[Toucano]

228. This is the largest of all the supporter and well-wisher threads!

What does that tell you?

We're not retreating!

[Jack_Dawson]

231. You called it!!!

I was gonna say the same thing.

[Auntie Bush]

250. Inoticed too so I'll go over and congradulate Kerry & Dean &

give my condolences to Lieberman.

[Jerseycoa]

235. We don't know how

And neither does he.

[Myra]

238. And it's a super close race w Edwards! Fascinating...

Maybe that'll get more publicity. The close third place finish.

I'm so proud of Clark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn this thread takes forever to load.

Sorry, stream of gibbrish.

[Auntie Bush]

298. Clark is 1000 votes ahead!!!!!!! WooWee

[Auntie Bush]

312. Greenfield makes me sick too

Clark gets third place and he says Clarks the loser!!!BARF!!
I have never gotten so excited about an election in my whole life!
Even much more exciting than Bill Clinton.

He is still 1000 votes ahead of Edwards.

[Auntie Bush]

319. Southward HO!

to S. Carolina.

[adamrsilva]

252. GO CLARK!!!

I'm glad he got third!

[SW FL Dem]

264. Just Curious

the pundits say women don't like Wes. Tonight we're lighting candles, drinking wine, etc. I'm a 45 yr old woman and a strong Wes supporter. Am I nuts, or are the pundits wrong??

[For PaisAn]

323. Aren't the pundits usually wrong/misleading

On the NY vans to NH a few weeks ago us Clark volunteers/supporters were majority women. At Nashua NH Clark headquarters it was a pretty even split.

253. Please let this be over soon...

Third is looking a little more solid now! Almost 90% in... still about 800 votes up.

Keeping candles lit and fingers crossed though!

But YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

We got the MO!

We took to MO out of Joementum...

It is a good night for Wes Clark - 3rd is just fine with me. Remember; NH is just 1% of the whole enchilada. KEEP GOING WES!!:bounce:

On edit: by the way you guys - this thread rocks!

[RaRa]

263. Watching him live on C-SPAN - ooh, he's good

I especially like that he's got African-American women rooting behind him - that's gotta help for the upcoming states in the south. And hopefully for the GOTV in general.

And you've done well tonight. Congratulations and the best of luck.

[funky_bug]

268. Clark on C-SPAN. Partial re-capp (as fast as my fingers could keep up)

Gert introduced him (love her) and Wes sounds really excited! I think he's thrilled with a 3rd place finish. He's reminding us that 4 months ago we had no money, no staff, and no office... but we had hope and a vision for a better America.

"4 months later, we came into NH as one of the elite 8, tonight we leave NH as one of the final four!"

"We must beat George W. Bush... I can, and I will!" (big commanding voice - that must be his "general's voice."

"So we're heading South, we're heading West, and we ain't slowin' down until the final buzzer sounds! These last four months have been the start of an incredible journey. Today was the just the beginning of our battle in our campaign to take American back."

"We're leaving NH tonight a smarter, better, and even more determined candidate... and never never underestimate what a determined soldier can accomplish WHEN HE'S FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY!"

And then C-Span cut in (of course!)

"So we're going to march onward, state after state until we send GWB right back to that ranch in Texas."

Crowd cheering "Na na na na, na na na na, Bush/Cheney, good-bye."

"A lot of people told me not to get into this race. They said I should leave politics to the politician... I was just and outsider... I was just a soldier from down south, but if there's one thing I learned during my 34 years in the US Army, it's this; that real leadership comes from deciding and doing, not talking and debating."

"And I simply couldn't stand by and watch while this country that I and so many have fought for unraveled before our very eyes.... the rich were handed one tax cut after another and 8 million couldn't find work... 12 million children languish in poverty in the wealthiest nation in the world... I couldn't stand by and watch special interests cut backroom deals with people in power... and I couldn't stand by and watch as day after day, our service men and women lost their lives in an unnecessary war in Iraq... so I didn't stand by... I stepped forward. I stepped forward and that's why I'm hear tonight. I see an American that's determined to be good and dares to be great..."

"I responded to a call for change... to an administration that puts the priveledged above people... change to an administration that holds itself above and apart from the people they serve... puts politics about principal... that we must take back..."

"The bottom line was, I was just sick and tired of republicans throwing about family values when it was clear to me that they themselves didn't value American families... because working families deserve better... the opportunity to work and make a decent wage... put a few dollars in the bank and save for their childrens' future... a tax cut to help pay their bills...they deserve the truth from the Commander in Chief. They deserve a leader willing to stand up to the real threats of Osama and Al Queda... the deserve top notch health care... a first class education and a shot at being just a little better off than their parents... this is why I'm running for President of the United State."

"I will never, ever forget where I'm from, and who I'm for... America's working families. And these aren't my values alone; they're democratic values, and that's what this party is all about. We've got to open the doors of this party to every person who shares our values...because when we take on GB this fall, we want everyone to join us, no matter where you're from, what your background is, or what your party registration might say. I can never repay the people of NH for their kindness and friendship over the last few months (goes on to thank supporters, volunteers, staff members, campaign folk, etc...)"

"And I want to congratulate John Kerry, Howard Dean and John Edwards, they're good men...(said some other stuff, but I couldn't keep up, but it was complimentary toward those three)"

"We're going to march on, meeting one test at a time with gritty determination until we take back this (country)..."

Sigh - that's our boy!

[in_cog_ni_to]

277. Wow!

You're a fast typer! I'm a hunt and peck typer. Very bad at it. :( Thanks for the recap!

Edwards 23,265 12%

[tishaLA]

271. Did you just see Schneider on CNN?

Clark is SECOND for voters on experience/electability behind Kerry....

This is proof positive to me that the campaign has to work with Dean to deliver body blows to Kerry so Clark can come out on top. It's a sensible strategy, dammit. Time to take off the gloves.

[funky_bug]

282. That is AWESOME!

But I think if we give Kerry some time, he'll bury himself.

[Ramsey]

272. Excellent speech

Clark just gave an excellent speech to his supporters. I could definitely get behind a Clark candidacy for pres or veep!!

[tishaLA]

286. Blitzer was almost nice just now

repeated the line about going from the elite eight to the final four...that only four months ago, clark didn't even have a campaign, now has third place in NH....

maybe this is just part of the media narrative--beat him down and let him be resurrected.

but Judy is still a bitch toward Dean. (on edit: and now toward Clark too! calls him a disappointment! but edwards escapes unscathed)

[Jerseycoa]

287. Whoa

Judy just said Edwards will drop out if he doesn't win SC.

[Jerseycoa]

289. We're at the thousand point spread

Whew!!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

288. Whoa - Edwards says he'll drop out if he doesn't win S. Carolina

according to Judy Woodruff

[funky_bug]

293. That's because Edwards knows he's got SC

We've got family there... it's all about Edwards. He's "their boy." It's a sympathy thang.

can't spin it, he lost a ton of votes bla,bla, bla.

[maryallen]

With a third place showing, BUT CLARK is a loser with a third place showing in NH????

I'll tell you why:
Clark and Dean are the biggest threats to this White House with their anti-war messages, and the Media/Corporations are using their whores to block any progress by either candidate.

That would be ok, except for the fact that I have no fingernails left now, so by 2 AM I'll be well past the first knuckle!

[democratreformed]

305. LOL!

I was gonna write about my fingernails a while ago.

[TexasPatriot]

306. Well

Tonight, the 2 issues that were the major issues for Kerry (according ot the exit polls) were 'Electability' and 'Experience' - and the #2 in both those categories was Wes Clark.

When we move south - Clark is going to have a good shot at swapping those positions.

Feb 3 is gonna ROCK.

309. Clark/Edwards----Clark needs to secure him first...n/t

[BootinUp]

313. Winning SC not enough for Edwards

He needs 2 out of the 7 states, I don't think he can muster that. Clark can IMHO.

[MrSlayer]

311. Damn snowstorm is screwing up my dish. What's the score?

I feel pretty good about it.

[seafan]

What a WONDERFUL night to be a Democrat!!

Tonight has restored my deep hope that we will throw the usurper out of our White House this fall!! There are a lot of weary, yet fiercely determined people out here, and tonight, we are belting out our heartiest congratulations to General Wesley Clark for his vision, his grace and his strength.

Press on, General!

318. Clark will do well in DE next Tuesday

Almost all the letters to the Editor in the two Statewide newspapers are pro Clark... A lot of yard signs. DE wants a winner, while I will vote for any Dem over the crud that has usurped the Presidency, I want a winner, and Clark, IMHO, is the best bet.

[Jerseycoa]

320. I thought Joe was set for DE?

I would be so happy.

:bounce:

[Myra]

322. Yes! Thanks Steve. OK, TX, DE...maybe AZ...

And looks like he'll hang onto third in NH:

372. I noticed the same thing in Delaware....

There have been pro-Clark letters to the editor every day in the News Journal. I have yet to see any support for Holy Joe. But, the polls say he is ahead. I noticed a building in Newark that seems to be perhaps Dean HQ. I have seen Clark signs around Newark.

Fingers crossed for Delaware to bring it home for the General.

345. Check in

We have to keep fighting, we have to keep working. Thanks everyone for your hard work.

Honestly, though Wesley Clark will beat George Bush like a drum. I don't think the other candidates will.

He has the most integrity, the most gifts, the best platform. He's the best candidate and we need to put it together for him.

Let's start the letters and phone calls to Arizona and SC.

Let's hear it for positive campaigns!

[Tatiana]

354. Yaaaaaaaay for positive campaigns!!!!!!!

:grouphug:

Gosh, I love my Clark supporterfriends!

Oh, and I'll take a glass of Chardonnay, thanks ;)

[truebrit71]

355. Me either!!!

He did exactly what he originally aimed at doing, and looks to have beaten two senators to boot...It's interesting that the two guys that have run positive campaigns are almost tied together....

Hmmmm, Clark/Edwards 2004..sounds good to me!!!

[incapsulated]

356. Yay!

Good Karma will win!

Congratulations to General Clark and to all of his supporters for ignoring the jabs and keeping their eyes on the prize...

Go WES GO!!!!

[gardenista]

359. Hearty congratulations, Clark people! You have bright days ahead!

You're going into the southland now, and you'll do well next week. Keep the flames burning for a real difference in the Dem party and in this country!

[oasis]

360. You made a difference General. Thanks for stepping up.

[Auntie Bush]

362. Clark in third ....I'll take that....Going to bed happy...Nite-nite all

[maxr4clark]

364. Clark's speech after was the highlight of the night! n/t

[mmonk]

365. Hang in there fellow Clark supporters

Maybe Clark can get his message out during the campaign for Feb.3 states. Time to be firm with the media and the right wingers they put on TV.

[Gloria]

366. Jennings on Nightline said that the count would be certified tomorrow.....

Koppel said that the DLC had basically put the fix in for Kerry.

Surprised?

It would sure be nice if our Democratic pundits would stop trashing Clark. Dee Dee Myers, by the way, is back from the dead....

[Myra]

367. Um, did he elaborate on how that was supposedly done?

Not that I don't trust Koppel...at all.
Ok, I don't.

[Piperay]

368. Clarks my man...

all the way to the WhiteHouse! :-)

[tishaLA]

369. We Clark supporters

[jumptheshadow]

371. To all other Clark supporters

Our guy is brilliant, ethical, considerate, effective and he has raised the discourse of the entire campaign.

I am so proud of him, and of you.

I am looking forward to February and March.

[Jen72]

373. I saw him being interviewed on BBC's newsnight yesterday.

I really like him, he was damning of Dubya and his handling of Iraq.
He said there were other ways to get Saddam.
If you go to the BBC news website, their is a wonderful audio interview with him. He is a wise man.
Even the BBC are trying to make out he was no too warm but to me he was the best.
They also interview McGovern who is supporting Clark, who has forgiven his vote for Nixon, saying Clark was a 27 year old, voting for his commander in chief.
Unfortunatly they also had a guy named Sidney Blomingburg a former senior adviser to Clinton. He was advocating a Kerry/Edwards ticket.
I think that are both great but I can see that Kerry is a huge risk, unless he is the second name on the ticket.
I hope for Clark/Edwards purely because they are both brilliant and
will make politics sexy, besides fat, sick Chaney and drunk,intellectually challenged *
