The facts, if you care at all about them, is that the Clark grassroots movement existed months before Clinton and Clark were ever mentioned in the same breath. I know because I was in the Draft Clark movement as of late spring, 2003, pledging $2000 via the internet if and when he decided to run. The truth is that the grassroots movement surrounding Clark was and is the second largest besides Dean's. I don't know if you belong to the Meet-Ups, but I have been going to the Clark ones for months and they have grown by leaps and bounds since late spring. The difference is that Dean had a structure already, having been a professional politician for many years. Clark had nothing. All he had was the Draft Clark people by the thousands, in every state, in every major city, writing him, pledging him money in an internet fund, and urging him to run. Clinton had nothing to do with this. You cannot win this argument because I've been there ... you haven't. You heard nothing at the grassroots about Clark because you haven't been listening.
