Wes Clark: One DU-ers opinion on his campaign.
Advertisements [?]
I am weary. I hear over and over again that Clark has run a "clean campaign," yet he has claimed on several occassions that Dean *can't win*

There isn't one poll or any shred of evidence to back up that paranoid thought. And, some of Clarks supporters are tauting *the Dean can't win meme* as one of the primary reason they support Clark? :shrug: Wha???

Additionally, let me shed some light on Clarks refusal to get *personal* and or *specific* about his criticizms on other candidates. *This is only my opinion of course.*

1. He encouraged some in congress to support Bush's war prior to the war itself. *There goes any criticism of those that voted for the war*

2. He has no indepth knowlege of domestic issues so he doesn't want to be critical of others on the domestic front. If Clark is critical of the particulars, he'll be forced to answer questions, and he doesn't seem to want to do that? Hence the lack of participation in the debates. How on earth can we size him up against Bush in a debate if he wont debate his fellow dems? Clark has disapointed me in the debates, I don't feel he addresses questions, and he goes off on lofty tangents. He needs the experience, and I as a voter need to be able to size him up in a debate setting.

I've heard time and time again HERE, the "I really like Howard Dean , but "he can't win" stories, which are being spread without any evidence to that effect what so ever?! It would appear Clarks unfounded opinion on this matter, is effective in garnering him support, despite a total lack of evidence?

Not only can Dean win, but he can change politics as usual, forever. And, we've got one chance to do this folks, it's the highly electable Howard Dean.

You all know I'm ABB and Clark will have my vote should he compete against *. But any such vote would be cast with great sadness at what could have been.
