Any news yet about if Wesley Clark is going to run in 2008?

7. Let's just hope he makes up his mind before August 2008 this time.
Seriously, he kicked his own ass with his ultra-late entry in 2004.

10. Agreed, for the most part...
but I think he will come out early and strong this time, if he runs. No one needs to draft him this time, and he has his "voice" already. Now, let's just hope he runs, and is not Hacketted by the Party. This Party needs him. This country needs him. We will be an extraordinary POTUS.

11. Yep, 2006 is his focus now...
He's said that anyone running now, before the 2006 elections, is doing a disservice to the election process.....He understands how vitally important the 2006 elections will be and he's all about taking back at least one of the Houses of Congress right now...He asks the rest of us to have that focus also...We're really screwed if we don't...

He hasn't exactly been quite, though...Here is just some of the stuff he's been doing this year.....be sure to click on the link in my sig and watch his Real State of the Union speech...it's a good one....
