Reply #21: Doesn't matter what he promises

Altho I am certain he wouldn't break a promise made, for all that many have done so in the past.

Even if he made no promise, it just wouldn't work. Look at it this way: Elected in Nov '06, takes office in Jan '07... when do you think he would have to begin his presidential campaign? Feb? March? What could he accomplish as governor while campaigning? What would be the point?

Clark has the experience of office comparable to a state governor hands down. More really, because he has the foreign policy and defense experience too. So there should be no question as to whether he can govern. It's only a question of whether he can campaign and win.

Seems to me it makes more far sense to judge his campaign skills based on how he campaigns for the nomination. If it turns out true that he's a "bad campaigner" (instead of what Clarkies say about his late start, second-rate staff, how much he's learned... yada yada) then there's no way he'll win the nomination so you have nothing to worry about. But if we do turn out to be right, you'll see a very different campaign than the one he ran in '03/'04. I hope you'll keep an open mind when the time comes.
