Who are we Clark supporters going to get behind, now?
As a Clark supporter, I'm wondering where the other Clark supporters are going to go. Kerry, Edwards, or Dean?

My state's primary isn't until 3/9, so it'll probably be over by that time, anyway. Still, I'm curious.

For me: Dean is out of the question. Kerry? Maybe, but I have some pretty hard feelings about the way some Kerry supporters have acted towards Clark and Clark supporters (both on this board and at rallies). Help giving Edwards a chance? Or would that be futile?

Just curious.

4. That's not helpful. As I said, I'm curious. I did not say I'd vote
however someone else told me to. If that were the case, I'd be voting for Dean, since Gore told me to! (and it seems most other Dems felt the same way)

8. that's why I said not to go with pack mentality
don't let others tell you who you should vote for, it's your decision to make.

2. I have no right to speak
since I'm a Dean supporter, but if you believe in Wes Clark and still think he would be the best president and if he is on ballot in your state why don't you continue to vote for him?

3. This Clark supporter
will either vote for Clark in my primary (IL) or just sit it out and wait to get actively behind the final nominee.

14. This sounds good. Will he still be on the ballot? If so, I could still
vote for him, and then just support whoever wins the nomination (gee, I wonder who THAT'S gonna be?)

5. Can't you write Clark in?
If you don't want to do that, it sounds like you're free to go where your heart takes you. May your heart be inspired again.

6. Dean or Edwards for me.
That is, if Terry McAuliffe allows them to stay in the campaign until Super Tuesday.

I'm growing ever more cynical, and I don't like it.

7. Kerry
He's with out a doubt the best qualified of those left. Edwards looks good, but to me, only as a VP candidate at this time.

Kerry's unstopable right now and I also know enough that if you're going to have connections, you better get over to Kerry now. People you meet in this campaign now will have positions of influence later. If you wait until the convention its too late.

10. I'm thinking that Clark's name
will still be on the ballot so I'll probably vote for Clark anyway.

I'm having a real hard time getting behind any of the others.

15. Vote for whomever you want in the primary
and then support the nominee in November. :)

16. I have to say that for the first time in ages, I'm undecided.
Our primary is in May, so I'll likely still vote for Wesley, assuming, of course, that the nomination is locked up by then. As someone else said, he earned my vote and I'm going to give it to him.

I just realized this morning that I really didn't have a second choice determined.

I never thought I'd actually need one. Certainly not this early.

Bleh.

17. My primary (VA) is over

and you must vote your conscience. I will, however, say that if my primary were still on the horizon I would still write Clark in.

Sad to say, I would NEVER think of Edwards, and that is due solely to one poster on this board.

18. Clark
I'll vote for Clark. Maybe Dean, if he'd only apologize for calling Clark a Republican. Never Kerry, too many bad votes on grave issues, too much duplicity, negative smear campaigning, etc. Never for Edwards, same reasons as Kerry. Clark/Dean ticket would be ideal. Check out this petition to "Draft Clark and Dean ":

21. I'm in NJ - Voting Clark
We'll still have a primary. I intend to vote Clark unless the race has tightened dangerously by then and I am forced to make another choice. The nominee in November, of course.

23. I will vote my heart.
I have liked Clark ever since the Draft Clark campaign, and I signed the petition asking him to run. I really thought he had the best chance of beating Bush. At the time, I only liked one other candidate in the bunch, but considered him "unelectable."

When I heard that Clark was dropping out of the race, I briefly considered writing-in his name. Who else could I vote for? Kerry? Dean? Edwards? Of the three, I like Dean slightly better than the others, but not enough that it matters much to me which of them wins.

I have decided that on Super Tuesday, I will cast my ballot for my first choice -- the electable-or-not Dennis Kucinich.

24. I voted for Clark in MI, but will support the nominee in the fall
I am presuming it will be Kerry. Clark could make for a good Secretary of Defense in Kerry's administration.

26. I'm voting for Clark in the NY primary
and will not back anyone until we have a nominee. Then I'll get involved again.

27. I'm still a Clark Supporter
I can't turn it off like a water faucet; I'm not that fickle. And the reasons I supported Clark have not changed one whit.

I'm amazed at people supporting Clark, who ditched their avatar last night, & were running around pushing other candidates.

I only know a few things; clark's candidacy was something special, & for whatever reason, I wish more people had gotten to know him.

Next, I will not vote for someone who is not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.

I won't vote for someone because he is "easy on the eyes."

And I'm still angry about dirty tricks, rotten comments, & boorish supporters.

So, I don't know what I'll do; I need time to think it through. And whoever I support may get my vote, but not my hope, or passion; that stays with Clark.
