Reply #22: You make some good points, but another question...

[Darkamber]

can you name the group that Clark is appealing to?

I've been trying to think this through since I saw some Clark supporters in another threat make the statement that Clark ran to the left. The CBS poll, which sadly only showed McCain and Edwards, did show that Edwards on the ticket Kerry picked up more military and conservatives.

Clark is a General and his has massive foreign policy experience yes. And I know his has knowledge on the economy as well. But he did come out 'anti-war' and had such people as Michael Moore come out for him.

Now don't yell at me because I come from a Republican family. I'm the black sheep, but I know from listening to them that there are a few people that get them worked up they include Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore and Hillary Clinton. At the same time, I'm talking about McCain Republicans who are fiscal conservatives and are pissed at what Bush has done to the deficient. They would like a reason to vote for Kerry, but they have told me before that they can't stand Clark. On the other hand, they said they liked Edwards.

I guess...I see Edwards as appealing to the Hawkish fiscal conservatives who are unhappy with Bush. But I'm not sure which group Clark appeals to. The anti-war left? How many anti-war Republicans are there?

And I do agree that polls are fickle things. The war issue can go up and down and the terror issue can go up and down. Even the economy is getting better according to some reports. I can say one thing that will not change. And that is the HUGE federal deficient that is threating social security. Kerry's plan would cut that in half in 4 years if I recall correctly. It's almost the same plan as Edwards had and Edwards could put that plan forward.

Sorry, to go on...but what group do you think that Clark would bring in that is different then what Kerry has now?
