Reply #37: Clark spent all his time in NH [View All]

and only beat Edwards by a few hundred votes.

Clark was the darling of the media when he first anounced. He was on the cover of Time or Newsweek (I forget which). I don't think Edwards ever was. Clark was an instant front-runner when he announced and then gradually sunk. Edwards was in single digits and then rose dramatically.

I've said it before but I'll say it again. Kerry has lots of defense and foreign policy experience. That's not his problem on defense. We won't make our defense problem go away by adding more experience to the ticket. We'll only end up focusing more of the debate on foreign policy and military matters which isn't good for Democrats.
