Catching him last night on "O'Leilly" reminded me again on why this guy is so special. He has been talking almost daily to the "other" side about views on the ME and various other things. No amount of traveling from state to state trying to get some support will gain him as much support as what he is doing right now.
Clark knows that most of the Dems would vote for him if he were to win the Democratic Nomination for 08', what he is doing right now is preparing for the general elections and breaking down some of the barriers of the FOX News watchers. These people are seeing this man in a non competitive platform forum. He is gaining their respect as well as some of their trust. If he continues doing this for the next year or so, there will be many people on the right that will not be so opposed to voting for him. He won't have to "campaign" for their trust and support. He won't have to worry as much about not being able to get his message out because he isn't getting as much camera coverage as some of the other Dem Candidates will be.
While others are reported on purely in the context of being a possible Democratic Presidential Nominees and being handed all of the baggage that goes with that; Clark is just getting known as an accepted "expert" in strategic war planning to the right. The right is seeing this man define issues and propose solutions on everything that is going on in a non threatening environment. Pubs always try to paint the Dems as weak on Defense, Clark is showing them on a very regular basis, on how he is NOT weak on defense and how he actually knows what he is talking about. Possibly the most brilliant strategy of all so far.
