TULSA, Okla., Jan. 30 — The time had moved well past 11 p.m. at the Canoe Club, a restaurant in Hanover, N.H., and aides to Gen. Wesley K. Clark had twice urged him toward the door. He simply would not end a conversation with Meghan McCoy, a medical student, who wanted to know why he wanted to be president.

Finally, the aides called over their secret weapon: Gene Caulfield, General Clark's 63-year-old brother-in-law.

"Wes," Mr. Caulfield began.

"I'm making a sale," General Clark protested.

"Well close the sale, and let's go," Mr. Caulfield replied.

3. Caulfield..

Love the name. Is that Gert's maiden name, then?

5. No

He's Gert's sister's husband.

I don't know Gert's maiden name.

6. Clark is our best shot

a 4 star General would SMOKE Bush any day, any place, without question, end of story.

Kerry cannot compare to a General. So he went to Viet Nam-so did Clark and so did alot of other non republicans.

Clark is sincere about helping this country.

Security? who would you trust more?
A LYING silver spoon AWOL son of a bush who can't string more than 5 words together in a sentence
or a West Point graduate, Rhodes Scholar, Oxford graduate, war veteran who is
well liked, friendly, well spoken guy who made it from the ground up.
????????????
who would you trust the security of your country to?

9. "I'm a pessimist," he said, shrugging. "But I think he should win."

Brilliant.

I'm glad Wes Clark has a down-to-Earth and very much common-sense oriented person around.

It shows, and Wes shines! :)
