Reply #6: "Everyone on Earth knows he offered General Clark the spot."

Since EVERYONE KNOWS this (much like everyone knows Iraq had WMDs), it must be an empirical fact...guess I missed the tape recorded conversation.


Your statement is highly erroneous and presumptuous.


Not sure what my take on the situation is. Such a rumor may help Clark show importance. Such a rumor may also help Dean, as it positions him firmly in the frontrunner status, and lets Clark supporters assume if they vote for Dean, they will also get their man too. I think if you look at Dean's statement, technically, it would be true: that being, he literally couldn't offer anyone a VP runnign mate slot, as he is not nominated yet, nor does he have the authority to appoint such a position YET. Wether there was talk of a hypothetical scenerio in which Dean was nominated, who knows, who cares. Not sure why Clark's team is making this such a big deal.

I do hope not about Clark. He is one candidate, running as either VP or P, that would prevent me from voting alltogether, for reasons Ive allready explained.
