Reply #23: Eloriel....what happened to Dean's "Grassroots Movement" I didn't hear

[KoKo]

about it having problems because I thought they were all here on DU....? Could you fill me in?

Quote from your post:

"And oh yes, spurns his own grassroots movement. That Dean grassroots organization must be scaring TPTB so badly
that Clark's handlers told him to get rid of his."

BTW: I thought it was a good post and needed to be said. I worry about some of our long time DU posters feeling we need "a strong Military Man....to bring down Bush.....and feeling Clark qualifies...without realizing his background just isn't what we might need for a Democratic Presidential Contender.

He should run for the House or Senate if he wants to get something done as a New Convert to the Democratic Party......he shouldn't just barge in and assume he gets automatic support because he's a General and "some group" is trying to paint Democrats as Soft on Defense.

He doesn't get a pass on his past record! It should be scrutinized as heavily (and more, perhaps) than any of the other candidates where a "paper trail" already exists.
