A quick note to Clark supporters

[WilliamPitt]

I have not heard the man say he is out yet. You Clark supporters should turn off the god damned TV, push back from the computers, take a deep breath, and be very proud of yourselves for your dedication and hope. You're patriots, and the sun will rise tomorrow to reveal what it will reveal. We'll be here for you.

West Wing is on Bravo right now. 'Privateers' is the episode. Have a ball.

:toast:

On edit: Fifty billion threads are popping up saying he is definitely out. You all have my love and admiration for the power and the passion of your work and hope. And the sun will still rise tomorrow.

[Maddy McCall]

1. Thank you, Will.

I agree. Much ado about nothing--at least until he announces. And then I will look at the remaining field and decide whom to support. It isn't the end of the world, of Wes Clark, or of this party.

:shrug:

[funky_bug]

I believe I'll do just that. You have been so gracious for such a long time. I appreciate your kind words.

[incapsulated]

9. Never watched it

Never will. I don't need anymore tv addictions, heh.

It ain't over till the fat lady does her thing.

I have to pass out soon anyway. We will all know by tomorrow.


Thanks, Will. :)

10. Thanks.

You're right. It's time for me to go to bed.

[Ramsey]

11. Gawdammit!!

I hope it's not true! Clark, Dean and Kucinich should stay in!!! What's the freaking hurry to inaugurate and squelch???

[revo2004]

12. Are you Will Pitt from TruthOut ? Wow / I love your writing

Clark is a great addidition to the race.

STAY Wes !

[WilliamPitt]

13. Yup

But now Will Pitt from the Kucinich campaign. Nice to meet you, and thanks!

[revo2004]

[AbbeyRoad]

14. Sorry. Posted twice. [n/t]

[AbbeyRoad]

15. Thank you.

Very true, William. Everyone needs to take a deep breath.

As of right now, we're still in this thing. I will not give up hope until I hear from General Clark himself. I still support my candidate.

[SW FL Dem]

16. Thanks Will

[Beetwasher]

17. This Makes Me Like Him Even MORE! (that he's out)

He's a realist. He's not full of shit. I hope he doesn't rule out VP. Kerry/Clark would be fucking unreal!

[AbbeyRoad]

22. Noone said he's out. [n/t]

[DianeG5385]

18. Thank you!

I am sticking with Clark as long as he is in the battle!

[SayitAintSo]

19. Thanks ... I'm heart broken ...

:cry:

[no name no slogan]

20. It ain't over 'til it's over

(in case you couldn't tell, I'm a Kucinich supporter, and have worked on a number of "losing" campaigns. It was tough being a Democrat in the 80s :D )

Don't EVER give up-- not until you hear it right from Clark's mouth that he's out. Clark supporters are awesome, and have good reason for supporting their man. This thing STILL ain't over-- especially for those of you in states that haven't voted yet.

Keep the faith until the end!

[AbbeyRoad]

23. I will keep the faith.

Thanks for your post, and thanks for the compliment. You Kucinich supporters aren't so shabby yourselves. :pals:

[Renew Deal]

21. Thanks will

:cry:

24. Nice post, Will....N/T

26. Mr. Pitt,

You rule. I have been watching this, "the sport for people with long attention spans," (a.k.a. politics) for a long time.

Until Clark is officially out, I am in - and 100% with him. Once he is out, so am I. (Although I'll vote for the Democratic nominee, no matter what.)

That said: your note is a balm to the spirit, and moreover offers a time to consider what I (as a Clark supporter) have the good fortune to be a part of. No matter what the 'morrow brings, I am, and will remain, one of Clark's people. He inspires me. I can't say much more.

Whatever happens from here, I will NEVER regret my service, conversations and $$$ given to Wesley Clark as a candidate. In a weird way, I think that says something: years from now, I will be as proud as ever for what I did, and tried to do, for my candidate.

Life is good, and I'm wise enough to know the sun rises again (but your reminder is appreciated). :-)

[KoKo]

27. There ain't no sun shining when the Candidate is already chosen and

it's only the beginning of February. It's dark indeed.

But, I have sympathy for all the Clark supporters as I do for the rest of us where there isn't any sun...and your hopes are dashed once again.
This stuff going on in the Democratic Party will tear us apart. Maybe not this minute...but it's festering, and it goes deep. No sun....

[WilliamPitt]

28. Kick

[acmavm]

29. I won't believe it until I hear him say it himself. But no matter what

the General does, I know that being the decent man that he is he will continue to battle to get the Bush* administration out of Washington. He has never backed away from a fight. And being a General, a great general, he knows when to retreat and plan a new offensive in any battle. And this is a battle. This is a battle for our country. Clark will not desert like AWOL did. He will stay with us in some way. He knows how badly we need him. And if it's not as the presidential nominee, he will do the decent, courageous thing and support whoever is. The General is a true American.

[Mz Pip]

Thanks Will

Here's to the nominee, whoever that might be. :toast:

31. Appreciate the words of encouragment, now then

lets get about replacing GEORGE W. BUSH.

[tishaLA]

32. Will, I hope you don't mind

but after I finish crying--sometime tomorrow night--I'm gonna support your FIRST candidate. I'll be a little late for the party, and I'll still be critical of him, but I promise to look pretty when I arrive.

[Joe the Revelator]

34. Thanks Will

You're a true gentleman

33. Thank You, Mr. Pitt

And keep up the fight for your own man!
