MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark (news - web sites), appearing energized Wednesday by his first election victory, questioned policy positions of his major rivals while focusing his campaign on the Tennessee primary next week.


Clark narrowly defeated John Edwards (news - web sites) in Oklahoma while Edwards won the South Carolina primary. John Kerry (news - web sites), the leader in victories and delegates, won the five other states that had elections Tuesday. Without naming names, Clark reminded patrons at a Memphis diner of both senators' support for policies they have come to assail.


"They're criticizing No Child Left Behind — they voted for it," he said. "They're criticizing the tax cuts — they voted for 'em. They're criticizing the war in Iraq (news - web sites) — they voted for it. They're criticizing the Patriot Act — they voted for it."


The Oklahoma victory breathed new life into the Clark campaign. After flipping pancakes at the diner, the retired Army general leaped atop the counter and told patrons, "It's great to be here in Tennessee, but I want to say, Oklahoma is OK."

4. Nice!!!! It's time to start holding the other candidates accountable

for their past votes and not just the squatter in the White House...

Time to up your game General....The people have voted, you got one win, and three second place finishes, we have heard your message and we like it..now show us the fire and passion that will persuade the rest of the electorate that the time for REAL change is now, and that the ONLY person that can do that is a straight-talking, no-nonsense, get-it-done, four-star hero.

It is time to highlight the differences between you and the other two contenders. It is time to get mad. It is time to get focussed. It is time to get passionate. IT IS TIME TO TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK!!!! And General Wesley Clark is the ONLY man that can get it done....

GO WES GO!!!!!
