Reply #54: Like I said in the post, some think one way, some the other.

This particular post wasn't advocating one opinion of Clark's motives over another... just instead discussing the result.

Some, such as myself, believe that Clark's endorsing of Clinton is a purely political move and not based in principle and I am less interested in what he has to say tomorrow, as I was yesterday, as now I feel I have to question his MOTIVES and analyze his positions more carefully. Others, such as yourself, feel differently.

However, this is why i said, I believe this endorsement only hurts Clark and doesn't help Clinton. I don't believe the vast majority of Clark supporters are going to suddenly like Clinton. I think those who would have voted for Clinton if she were the nominee, are still going to do so... HOWEVER, those who would have never voted for Clinton under any circumstances may change their opinion of Clark, which divides his base of supporters, thus, "hurting" him. It doesn't actually hurt him, as he isn't running for anything; however, I know I am going to read his requests with more scrutiny in the future, as I feel his motives are not as pure as I once thought.
