1. Clark would get my attention right away

and I'm a Dean supporter.

2. I'd have to find out more about him

See where he stands on the issues, see him in a debate and see if I like him.

3. i think clark can help kerry

with 2 military guys in the race, i think they would have a good debate on the issues. i think clark can only help kerry try to improve himself. they would have a good debate on foreign policy issues also. i'm actually looking forward to it.

5. Don't know all that much about him except

Don't know all that much about him except some vague second-hand position reports and the analyses he used to give on Corporate News Network. Of course he is an attractive candidate but I wonder if he has the 'fire in the belly' to really throw his hat in the ring. Even if he does he'll be getting a late start, with no money, and no experience campaigning. I think he is a long shot.
My support for Kerry is deep and longstanding, not based on a laundry list of issues or his perceived electability, but rather from watching and listening to him over the course of a decade. I decided years ago that I thought he would be a good President. So it's hard to for me to imagine a scenario where I would switch my support to someone else.
So not a difficult question for me.
The way things are looking I think several of our candidates could go on to beat Bush if they get the nod...

6. More the merrier.

Having more Democratic candidates hurts in getting his message heard right now, but what Kerry has to say after he declares will rise above the crowd's clamor. For those who know nothing about him — or only what other politicians and their supporters have said about him — Kerry is the real deal.

When people get a chance to see Kerry and hear what he has to say, they'll remember to compare it to what Clark and the rest of the field have to say. The voters will realize Kerry is the guy who can beat Bush like a drum because he is the best candidate to be President.
