Change + Experience = Wesley Clark
Think about it. Clark is not an inside-the-beltway-boy, and he has a broad range of experience.
That is all.


Dinger

P.S. Please be patient with me. I know the time is growing short.

2. Clark is good. I wouldn't mind this choice.
Don't think it's gonna be him, though.

ABB... Anybody But Bayh.

9. I was hoping for a Kerry/Clark ticket
in 2004. I still wonder if Clark would have helped Kerry despite the fraud in Ohio.

5. Clark would be OK
at campaigning and freakin' indispensable asset in an Obama administration.

But Clark is not the only outstanding choice available, and there others that might more directly help us win this election.

6. Clark and Obama share a crippling defect:
Honesty

Barack speaks the truth to our energy-guzzling ways and that it doesn't exactly elevate us in the view of other nations, and we all remember the gas tax pander that he call bullshit on.

And Clark quite simply spoke the truth to McCain's POW experience having little to do with being a good president.

Go OBAMA/CLARK!

:hi:

11. Honesty and integrity are what we need the very most...
...that's my whole problem with politics these days.

When Hillary and John can both come out and lied to our faces about this gas tax thing, what hope is there?

Sure, it's tough to be honest AND to win, but if we give up hoping that it can happen we concede failure and might as well surrender what few rights we have left.

13. I couldn't agree more....I really couldn't...
and I believe that's why Clark gets short shrift so many times...brutal honesty is NOT something people in politown are very familiar with......wb

12. yes, they do both speak the truth
and the power of it combined would be amazing


OK, I confess- I've gone over the edge; It makes me almost like a Beatles fan to think of it! There's a light that comes from them both and when you put them together, it just seems unstoppable:-) I keep thinking "the truth shall set you free".

TRUTH HONESTY there is a LOT of power in that (not that you'd know it from the morans at AOL, etc -- do people read?)

OBAMA/CLARK

GOBAMA

I am also lighting candles

18. Yep Yep Yep!!!
It puts McCain on notice...I think the Clark "gaffe" (accidentally) worked perfectly to gauge how loud Gramps' people would howl...and howl they did.


Clark is PERFECT to really exploit the fraud that is John McCain.

19. Obama said today he's ready to fight back.
Clark stated a few days ago he's not going away. They need to pair up and get this show on the road! :bounce: :hi:
