Let's try this again.

Note to Deanies: When I said (no Deanies allowed) for take 1 of this thread I was making a joke. That's why I put the clown face in the subject line. Please come right on in and make yourselves comfy. Would you like something to drink. I've got pie.?.?.?

So anyway, this guy makes some really good points ... for a moderate independent.

4. Especially Like This:

Anyone who is paying attention has to admit, this Dean team is an inspirational thing to watch and learn from. And yet, General Wesley Clark is gaining on the Vermont Governor – and quickly.

All of the excitement Dean generated at first is now surging among Clark supporters. And what is working for the General most is that he seems a reassuring embodiment of the best three other candidates have to offer: Dean’s straight talking and outsider status; Kerry’s veteran status; and Edwards’ southerner status and personal charm.

In addition, he seems, to his supporters, to bring the best of all three of these campaigns together while leaving behind the egatives: Dean’s knack for misspeaking and draft dodger status; Kerry’s sluggish campaign and lack of ability to connect with people; and Edwards’ lack of experience and gravitas.

5. See this part

"The Lieberman campaign truly has the most winning focus of any campaign. Its relentless focus is on “integrity.” The other campaigns are potentially setting themselves up for a dangerous fall with their focuses on the Iraq situation and the economy. What if the economy turns around and Saddam is caught in October? The other camps seem to make the case that, well, then maybe we were wrong and the President should stay."

I've been thinking about just this. I think Clark's Responsibility, Accountability, etc. theme is going to work this way as it gets off the ground. The "event-proof" issue.

8. Jesus, that man could be a model.

14. Clark a model

That's a good idea! He could do some modeling and make TONS of money. I can just picture him modeling men's suits! My heart is all a flutter!

7. Wrong place.

9. That's a beautiful sig photo, Cryingshame. Where'd you get that?

[KittyWampus]

13. forclark.com- they have a couple of Holiday/Christmas Cards To Download

Wish I could photoshop my own.

But the one on my sig line looks so evocative... almost surreal and somewhat nostalgic.

10. Great article, and just how I feel. The General is just exactly what the

democrats need right now. I have no problems with Dean, and he wasn't my first choice even before Clark decided to run. I have to admit that I was one of the thousands who bombarded him with e-mails begging him to run. This article just reinforces my opinion that this man can win, that he is the most credible candidate that we have, and that Bush & Co. do NOT have a lock on the White House next year.
