Reply #184: i'll tell since nobody else has. its because the dlc couldn't control him

all this flippity flap about how clark did not get the primary votes is obtuse nonsense. the dlc was looking for a fellow traveler like lieberman. clark was too independent and liberal for the dlc.

his campaign started a ways to late to secure primary support from local and state party leaders, who btw just happen to determine in large part their primary elections.

in hindsight, clark would have at least carried the fight to bush and would never had put up with anything like the swift boat ads before calling bush privately to tell him to call off the dogs or face a very public ass whipping.

clark is an intellectual, a leader, and the sharpest pencil in the box. if al gore decides not to run, my initial choice would be wes clark.
