Reply #39: He's not convincing [View All]

You asked so I'm answering. Disclaimer: I still have my personal Reagan problems, the policies not the vote.

But in thinking about it, Clark is just not convincing about what he believes. He leaves you with the idea that he just came up with a personal belief system last summer. He sounds like he's reading policy positions, not like he believes them in his heart. As a Democrat, that leaves me not knowing what he'll do in the WH. In the GE, that leaves a choice between Bush, who is convincing, say what you will. And Clark, who's running because Democrats couldn't find their own candidate??? Because he wants to run the war better??? Because he has an ego to feed??? (Those are things people might think, not personal attacks)

With Kerry, you've got Clark PLUS. Some votes to defend, absolutely. But there is no doubt he's a man of conviction, he votes his conscience. I know that about the IWR, despite what people think. He has a record to know where he stands and that he puts up a hell of a fight when it's critical, we've heard his criticisms of this administration well before Howard Dean was saying anything, we trust him. He has a solid common sense platform, a steely core, and that's what makes him more electable.
