in the way these things play out.

Actually, if the Clark supporters hold together, I think Clark has a very bright future, or it might be more accurate to say that America has a good chance at being able to have Clark in its service again.

I don't think there can be any argument with his program that the United States really needs a higher standard of leadership. Well, the only way we're going to get that is to make it happen from the ground up, the exact same way the right wingers took over the GOP from the Rockefeller/Eastern Liberal establishment.

The Wesley Clark Society, Wes Clark's Army, Hlinko's reborn DraftClark movement and dozens of others are springing up from the grassroots now that the thumb of the "pros" has been taken off their backs. Just like Dean touched a sore nerve in a lot of Democrat rank & filers when he stood up and told BushCo to go fuck themselves, so did Clark hit a note that resounded among lots of dissatisfied voters who looked on the candidates chosen for us who were acceptable to the powers that be and said Phooey!

The pros did their best to turn the grassroots into Astroturf but we're still here, and we won't be fooled again.

So, as long as Wes Clark stays true to Wes Clark, he'll always have an army of supporters within the range of a loud yell.

HooYaH!
