In light of what happened tonight I thought I would re-post what I wrote on Sunday. I am so sad that I was right.

Clark: Greatness slipping through our fingers?


If the Dem party is blind enough to let this man slip through our fingers I have lost faith in my party!

This man would make the most amazing President of our time! How anyone could listen to this man today on Wolf Blitzer and not believe that fact is beyond my ability to understand.

Our party is in danger. We have allowed the media to control this primary from the beginning. They have controlled the discussion and probably even the outcome. We are letting them do it.

We are letting them tell the American people that Kerry is the only hope of beating Bush, when that is far from the truth! Kerry is a good man and I think he's been a fine Senator. However, to say that he is the best possible nominee we could have put up to face Bush is simply false! He is more than likely one of the worst candidates for us to put up against Bush.

All the while we have a man of true greatness being marginalized and ignored. Wes Clark is that man. Anyone who watched todays interview with Wolf could see just a glimpse of the greatness in this man.

I sit here almost in tears having to imagine that my party doesn't want a man like Wes Clark as our next President. They are willing to settle for less. I don't just want a NEW President I want an EXTRAORDINARY President. Which is why the only person I can support is Wesley K. Clark!

1. yep,

he sure was great on Wolf Blitzer on Sunday. Interesting how they gave him a 1/2 hour, once they were convinced the really was through. Petrified of that man, they are (were). Way too much truth telling to remain plausible, I guess. Sad!

2. We lose more than we know.

I hope there's a place for him in the next Democratic administration. He is very smart and very diplomatic.

3. The Democrats are throwing away a lot of talent this cycle.

Clark, Dean, Kucinich all had obvious contributions to make and any
of them would have done a fine job of both fixing the country's
problems and fixing the Party's problems.

Earlier on, you can add Moseley-Braun and Graham too.

Settling on Mr. "Perceived as Most Electable by Major Media Outlets
Everywhere" is a real let-down for this voter.
