I just watched "American Son" - the Wes Clark Bio video
I signed up to host a house party and I just watched the video.

Throughout the entire video, numerous retired military men and women defend Clark and talk about his intelligence, integrity, courage, etc...

Where were these people a couple weeks ago while Shelton and Schwarzkopf were smearing Clark?

Anyway, great video!!

2. Stan Goff said he had a rep as an inveterate ass kisser
but didn't say anything worse than that. He put it in an article citing what others say, but didn't give his own opinion.

Clark is certainly a fascinating and intelligent man.

3. Well, that's sort a of misleading lead, isn't it?
If he was simply reporting what someone else said, of course that wasn't his own opinion. It isn't his own opinion unless he says it is, or presents it in the article as if it is.

Goff notes some say, etc., would seem a little more intellectually honest, wouldn't you agree?

7. Admittedly biased opinion: It was awesome!
I really liked the video...wish the campaign could by some cable time in major markets and show that I think it would do the trick.

There were nice testimonials like you mentioned, a good bit on his personal life, leaving his family to go to 'Nam.

I loved the shot of Clark with reporters in Kosovo where he looked so focused and energetic answering their questions.
