Reply #143: I'm not sure that there's anything Clark could do

that would qualify as far as you're concerned, but that's OK. No one is asking you to support him, but a wee bit of tolerance for the people who do support him would be appreciated. Mutual respect is a great way to win people over to your point of view.

Clark supporters have been bending over backwards to say supportive things about Dean and have mostly gotten spat at in the face for their troubles. I don't know whether or not the spitters think that's an effective way to promote party unity, or whether they think it will win more support for Dean, but it doesn't seem to me to be likely to have either effect. I'd be genuinely curious to know your thoughts on this question.
