41. You don't know the first thing about Wes Clark
If you think he takes orders from the DLC. He entered the race to provide a national security candidate when Kerry was doing poorly and Bob Graham had dropped out. There was nothing more to it than that. Dean happened not to have those credentials and that's why Dean lost to Kerry in Iowa, along with Kerry's superior GOTV. If Dean had won Iowa, Clark would have beaten him in New Hampshire on that issue alone. That's the battle that was set to take place, but it was between national security experience and no national security experience. If Kerry and Dean had tanked in Iowa and Edwards had come out the winner there, the battle would have been the same and Clark would have won it. Kerry's winning Iowa threw out the game plan. But Clark was not sent out to destroy Dean. He went out to give the country a national security candidate, because he saw no alternative at that time. Wes Clark was always for John Kerry and would not have accepted the draft and entered the race at all if Kerry hadn't been tanking in the fall.

Take off your :tinfoilhat:

And welcome to DU :hi:
