[Emboldened Chimp]

I got some Pentagon goon on CSPAN-3.

[tjdee]

10. THey'll prolly break in--I thought it was at 1pm???

Maybe we jumped the gun a bit...
It's at one, I thought.

[Clark Can WIN]

6. where robbedvoter

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. My C-Span doesn't

[tjdee]

5. I have two VCRs going and my DVD recorder..

Just in case one of the stations cuts away to juniors campaign speech he's giving today.

[OKNancy]

7. My gracious..Judy and Wolf

were absolutely gracious about Clark in their prelude. You know there is something in the tone of their voice that was very positive and upbeat.

(Or it could be because they are whores and like a good story.)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

12. The latter.

[HereSince1628]

11. This is sorta silly isn't it?

How many times does a candidate have to announce to really announce?

I'm thinking about announcing
I'll announce my decision by fill in the date
I've decided that I will announce
I'm announcing...

Not to knock Clark's campaign, several others have done similar tricks. Is this something taught in marketing classes? Wringing out all possible push from a single event?

[Clark Can WIN]

13. so don't watch then

Cspan 1 or two, anyone know yet?

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. NOT C-Span 1 n/t

21/2 years of raising awareness only to have it flushed overnight. ;-)

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. It looked like he had a nice big crowd there!

[jumptheshadow]

[jumptheshadow]

Getting a good view of a cameraman's butt.

[jumptheshadow]

33. LOL

Now the image is upside down.

[Emboldened Chimp]

19. CSPAN has it listed on their web page

under "currently on", but the Pentagon goon is still babbling away. What gives?

[in_cog_ni_to]

[Emboldened Chimp]

[imax2268]

24. What's up with...

The Voter Alert CNN has on the bottom of the screen...?

Voter Alert?
Is that the best they can come up with for the Clark Announcment...?
:spank:

Why not "Special Announcement" or the trademark "Breaking News"...
this is exciting as hell...the repubs are sweating in their boots about now...!

What's that they mentioned about some spin already...?

[DoveTurnedHawk]

25. Marion Berry, Ark. Rep., Introducing Him (eom)

DTH

[DoveTurnedHawk]

26. ENTIRE ARKANSAS House and Senate Delegation Endorses Clark! (eom)

DTH

[DoveTurnedHawk]

31. "But Most Important, a Dedicated Husband, Father & Son"

Berry listed all of his credentials, then said the above.

DTH

[DoveTurnedHawk]

35. A Man Who Has the Vision, the Integrity and the Knowledge to Lead

A man who has the commitment, the values we all hold dear...

...It is the highest personal honor for me, and Senator David Dreier is going to join me in just a minute, to present to you today the next President of the United States.

DTH

[DoveTurnedHawk]

41. Dreier (sp?) on Now

Listing more credentials, it's a LONG list!

Dreier bracing Clark and his family for a long campaign. Saying they have the support of many to help them through.

He will today launch his greatest battle ever.

DTH

[DoveTurnedHawk]

48. Clark on Now!!!

Thanks everyone, compliments a "Wes Wing" sign.

"My name is Wes Clark, I AM from Little Rock, and I'm here to announce that I'm here to seek the Presidency of the United States of America!"

<we want Clark chants>

Long journey for my family and me from Little Rock. From West Point to Vietnam, to ?34? years in the army. Proud to be back home in Little Rock.

A new journey, a journey I couldn't begin without all of you. Friends, family, high school classmates, business partners, the 100's of people who are HERE because of the Draft Clark movement. Thank you.

You took an inconceivable idea, and you made it conceivable.

But many things are possible today because we do live in historic times. For the first time since Herbert Hoover's presidency, a president's economic policy has cost us more jobs than our ??? has been able to create.

For the first time since ?1968? there are more Americans fighting abroad, and once again Americans are concerned for their civil liberties.

For the first time since the Cold War, Americans are feeling unsafe.
...
We're going to run a campaign that will move this country forward, not back. And we're going to talk STRAIGHT to the American people, because it's time ... the American people deserve to hear the truth, and hear it in plain and simple language.

<and then I got a phone call and had to take a break>

DTH

[DoveTurnedHawk]

54. Why Are So Many Hesitant To Speak Out and Ask Questions

We're not going to make personal attacks, but we're going to seek out the facts and propose alternatives and reach for the very essence of our democracy!

And in a time of war, we're going to ask those questions and propose those alternatives in the highest sense of patriotism.

So we are going to hold the administration accountable for its policies and results. Remember, the results belong to all of us. There's a foundation that we must build anew. This campaign will lay out a plan to restore the millions of jobs that have been lost...

...we'll work out how to deal with historic deficits...we'll find a way to restore safety and security for all of America, and a sense of safety and security for all Americans. We're going to travel the country.

In the coming weeks, a major speech on the economy. Open, honest, coverage and debate this country deserves.

<another break as my boss comes in>

DTH

[DoveTurnedHawk]

57. Forward With a New Vision

To bring our children and grandchildren into that vision...

We can do better. We will do better. And we will do it together.

So that's our campaign.

<laughter>

We're mustering resources, building a nucleus, drawing inthe support of people all across this great land. We're moving forward. We need your help, in Little Rock, in Arkansas...

But I want to reach out especially to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina. And everywhere in America, get ready. We're moving out!

Thank you!

<Song: "This Land is Your Land">

[jumptheshadow]

30. Love the Southern accent

Announcing in Little Rock was a good idea.

[HereSince1628]

40. Do you suppose that he will lunch at the Rose Cafe?

And if he does how many pounds of beef will he order?

[Cush]

32. lol, nice camera work

[jumptheshadow]

36. He has a degree in economics, President Bush

eom

[Cush]

39. um

i'm just laughing at the camera work

[jumptheshadow]

43. Me, too

Looks like the camera man is on acid.

[tjdee]

37. Um, is that Gert? And is that Gert's hair?

I'm only half kidding here, and no, it has nothing to do with anything... but on my feed, it's kind of blurry and I can't see whether Gert is wearing a hat, or if (yikes) it's her hair. Ah well, I trust she has a better designer than Pickles.

[Cush]

42. Clark up now

MSNBC is alrady trashing him....

[in_cog_ni_to]

44. 33 years in the military.

hehe...shrub...you're toast!

[in_cog_ni_to]

46. DraftClark.com

You took an inconceivable idea and made it conceivable.

[Nashyra]

51. They will hold the administration "Responsible"

Kicking the ass of the current administration. Tough questions for the administration, demand the answers. Why have they taken a surplus and turned it to a deficit, why are Americans scared, why are we not respected, Int time of war we are going to ask questions with the highest regards of patriotism. He's sounding great.

[ShimokitaJer]

47. "We're going to talk straight"

a nod to McCain's "Straight Talk Express?"

[LEW]

50. Straight talk

and talk the truth...in language we can all understand

We are going to ask the hard questions and demand answers, seek out the facts, seach out the cause, this will be a different campaign, we will ask questions and propose alternatives in the highest sense of patrism!!!!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

49. Clark said

"Will run a campaign to move country forward, not back."

"We will hold this administration accountable." "

We will ask all the hard questions."

"Why has America lost so much respect from around the world?"

Why are Americans afraid to ask questions?"

[LEW]

52. Love the sign

"The Wes Wing"

[laruemtt]

56. i'm in love!!!!

oh my god it's springtime in american again! he says follow me, i go wherever he says. o that smile - be still my heart!

[in_cog_ni_to]

60. His wife is lucky

isn't she? I think he is too good looking for words and way more credentials that the shrub!!! Woohoo!

[in_cog_ni_to]

53. Clark said

"Will hold this administration accountable for our policies."

"Will restore safety and security for our country."

"I hope my speeches will create frank honest open debate that this nation deserves."

[in_cog_ni_to]

55. Clark

"I think we are a diverse, practical and energative country."

"Together we will march forward."

"We can do better. We will do better and we will do it together."

"Get ready, we're movin' out!"

end of speech

[Emboldened Chimp]

59. This Land is Your Land

for the after speech music.

[Nashyra]

61. I can not believe that Rove and company did not pre empt him

Judy Woodruff has been exceptionally kind to Clark, what gives? The speech hit * very very very hard. I loved it, kept coming back to making the administration accountable. CNN whore right now sayin no specifics. Now that the "General" has declared all of a sudden it is not national security but the economy, how they shift in the wind. * is cooked, if the economy is the main campaign theme *'s toast, if it is national security *'s toast.

[tjdee]

58. Not too happy with the choice of song, but hey, it works I guess.

:( I'm still pouting over Edwards.

But Clark was good.

[in_cog_ni_to]

62. Why are you puting over Edwards?

just curious. :7

[tjdee]

68. Edwards didn't get to have "his day"

because of all the excitement over Clark... but, I will say that Clark didn't get as much of 'his' day either, as I thought he'd get with the networks.

Did CNN broadcast all of Dean's announcement/Kerry's??

[imax2268]

64. To all the Republicans out there...!

Can ya feel that...huh...huh...huh...?(ace ventura!)

The White House shall be clear...

[laruemtt]

65. i am panting for the debate

between clark and *. clark with his cool, movie idol good looks and an intelligence that won't quit, and shrub with his head bobbing forward and his 10-word vocabulary, stumbling all over himself. oh this is going to be good!

[Donna Zen]

67. The song is perfect

written during the Great Depression by a socialist!



In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

[Nevernose]

63. Was FAUX ignoring this?

I watched CNN during the speech, but afterwards I turned over to FAUX and MSNMC, and FAUX wasn't doing any post-speech coverage at all. Did they even cover his speech?

[VolcanoJen]

66. Clark was good, but he's got a ways to go...

He's brilliant and has the World's Greatest Resume, but he needs to work on his speaking skills a bit, I think. The stump is going to make or break Clark, and I thought he was a little stiff today.

IMHO, the best stump speaker of the Ten is John Edwards, followed closely by Dean.

[jumptheshadow]

69. I agree

Perhaps I was hoping for more, after waiting all this time for this moment. But Clark needs to relax a bit and add some of his famous intensity to his speeches.

Hopefully it will come naturally after he's been out on the stump a while.

[tjdee]

70. Edwards is the best, IMO...

If more people got to see his speech yesterday, LOL, you'd see I'm right!

Clark did a good job, though, I thought. It is imperative, imperative that he does some work with Carville/someone like Carville. But he did much better than I expected for someone who never had to do anything like that before. What you read as 'stiff' I read as inexperienced, and unlike some others Clark does not appear to be a know it all, and therefore exacerbate his own flaws.
