Kerry + Clark = my friend "Joe's" vote (another Repub for Kerry!)

[DancingBear]

I have a good friend (called "Joe") that I meant some years back while working in IT at a defense sub-contractor firm. "Joe" is a solid Repub, ex-military (officer), and very willing to discuss/debate other points of view. We had looong conversations when I was working on the Clark campaign, and I (almost!) got him to a meet-up.

Since then, we've spoken sporadically, and I was curious that, if left to his own device, what his decisions would be come November. I e-mailed him yesterday, and put in this line: "Clark for VP! Bush for Crawford!". I received the following lines as part of his response:

RE Wes Clark for VP! Bush for Crawford! I like it! I've pretty much
decided not to vote for Bush but may not vote for anybody or may warm to
Kerry. A good and more moderate VP choice might nudge me his way.

Here is a CLASSIC example of the folks that us Clarkies have been PROMISING would come our way if Wes was part of the ticket. Kerry's military record has made "Joe" consider him, and a man of strong convictions like Clark (who can be perceived as a moderate) will put another vote in Kerry's column.

If there is anyone out there who does not think we need thousands of "Joes" to win this election, think again.

One vote at a time, people, one vote at a time.

2. Wesley Clark

For me there would be no better choice than Wesley Clark as the Vice Presidential choice, but then for me he would have made a fine choice for President as well. The party, my party, chose to go with Senator Kerry, and that is fine, but there is still a place for a second man of intelligence and integrity on the ticket. I am not saying that in any way to demean any of the other fine men and women who are under consideration, only to say that General Clark is certainly my choice.
