Will Clark fight back with negative flyers and spying?
I think he'll run a clean campaign, that's why I switched to Clark.

1. ON THE OTHER HAND
Clark lacks the organization and wherewithal to produce and distribute negative flyers and conduct interparty espionage!

That's why I switched to Dean.

6. He has too much integrity
to play the slime game with Dean...he'll just let Dean continue self destructing. Look where it's getting him! Dean's done.

I remember a candidate several months ago when asked about Dean's lead responding "Deans imploding."

And since then this candidate has done nothing but go down, down, down in the polls.

2. Nah, he's too classy
for that kind of crap. He's already answered to it. He said..."Well, I guess that's how professional politician do things." :) Class act all the way. He'll get his little zingers in, but he's not going to play their game and will win for taking the high road instead of the slimey one.

9. He doesn't have to get dirty -
when he has his supporters to do his work for him. Posting articles by John Fund, the Drudge Report, etc., LYING, etc.

10. While I would like to think
that Clark will maintain a higher standard of political manuevering, there will come a time when he will have to fight for position, not just recognition. I pray that what I believe I see in him is genuine. But then again, at one time I believed Howard Dean to be the real McCoy. My faith in him has long since been shaken.

I for one am glad that Clark is being attacked. We can see the true character of a man by the way he behaves when backed into a corner. I say to all the attackers, "Bring it on," and let's see how the general "kicks the living shit" out of them.

In other words, only time will tell.

12. There is nothing wrong with "spying"

If by that you mean having your supporters attend rallies for the other candidates and report what they saw. Hell, everyone does that, out of curiousity if nothing else. Joining an opposing camp as a plant, however, while certainly not unknown (and probably rampant in this campaign on many fronts), smacks of uncivility, to be kind.

18. He is too honorable
to stoop to those levels.

Remember, he is not a professional politician.

He'll probably throw spit balls.
