"George W. Bush is going to run on his national security record," Clark said, "I know more about national security than George W. Bush has ever thought about, and I can hold him accountable." We've got a president in this country who really doesn't have a clue about where this country should be going," he said to loud cheers. "He redid his father's war against Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), he's redone Ronald Reagan (news - web sites)'s tax cuts for the wealthy, and now he wants to redo John Kennedy's space program."

1. For any of the candidates to seem serious

they should direct their barbs at Bush and not each other.

Otherwise, it doesn't look like they expect to win.
