Clark pancake breakfast in NH on C-SPAN now

[MoonRiver]

Clark is doing fine. C-SPAN talked about a poll (came out today) that had him virtually tied with Dean.

[Kathleen04]

1. I'm tuned in. n/t

[Justice]

2. Keep Us Posted - I am At Work

[Ms. Wonderful]

9. Gert's on fire!

She's introducing the "best husband and father" - more to come from his speech!

Enjoy work :evilgrin:

[Ms. Wonderful]

13. Clark is talking about

real family values; how we need higher standard of leadership; pulling people together, not dividing the population; pro-veteran issues - you know, how Bush cut benefits etc.; emphasizing need for coalitions and alliances with other countries; making fun of Bush dressing up in a flight suit; JUST ACCUSED BUSH OF NOT DOING ENOUGH PRE 9/11; JUST ACCUSED BUSH OF TAKING US INTO WAR WITH IRAQ W/O REAL CAUSE AND W/O PLAN - Clark holds Bush accountable for the mess.

[maddezmom]

3. looks like a good crowd!!

Go Wes!! :)

[Ms. Wonderful]

4. Thanks!

Pancakes and Clark - heaven :loveya:

[NNN0LHI]

5. Anyone else get nervous when our candidates get in a crowd like this?

Maybe it is because I can remember when Bobby Kennedy was shot? JFK, and MLK too.

Don

[maddezmom]

7. yes, it's always in the back of my mind n/t

[mikehiggins]

52. Amen to that.

Every time I see him in a crowd pressing the flesh my skin crawls.

I remember how Lee Harvey Oswald was standing in the middle of a crowd of cops in the basement of a court building when Ruby whacked him.

Bobbie Kennedy taking a short cut through the hotel kitchen, giving Sirhan Sirhan a shot at him.

Clark has many real enemies in life, violent enemies, and how hard would it be?

[MoonRiver]

6. Gert's talking first.

She is such a cool lady!

[maddezmom]

8. I love her

she's a great speaker :)

[NNN0LHI]

10. She sounds just as spunky and intelligent as Hillary n/t

[Ivote]

12. Panecakes anyone

Making them here in Fl
I'm having pancakes with Wes and I will be proud to say "YES SIR" when he becomes THE PRESIDENT
Go Clark

[MoonRiver]

16. She seems like she has a great sense of humor too.

I frequently see glimpses of she and Wes chuckling together about something. They are an incredible couple, who'll make one of the finest and most dynamic first families in our history!

:loveya:

[Kahuna]

39. I would love to see Gert as First Lady.

:loveya:

[Kathleen04]

11. Clark's speaking now

talking about transparent government..

He's fired up today. :)

[MoonRiver]

19. He really is fired up! The crowd is too.

Clark can't speak for very long without the crowd interupting with chants of "Go Wes Go" and wild applause!

[Clark4Prez]

14. I intend to hold GWB accountable

Go, Wes, go!!!!

[Clark4Prez]

20. I am proud to be a Democrat

because the Democratic Party helps people.

When you talk about family values, you are talking about employment, because you if can't feed your family you can't take care of your family.

Family values= insurance, education, enviroment, put America back to work, lift family income

Air pollution= 100,000 premature deaths over the next 10 years

That's family values!

[Kathleen04]

15. "It's not patriotism

to dress up in a flight suit and prance around on an air craft carrier!".. :)

[NNN0LHI]

18. Alright already. I am damn impressed with the guy

:-)

Don

[Kathleen04]

17. 1 random cheering guy..

"We need Wes!"..funny.. :7

[slinkerwink]

21. not watching that----too hungry this morning!

;-) damn my college for not opening its dining hall until 10:45AM!

[NNN0LHI]

22. Clark is not so good at debating but he can give one hell of a speech n/t

[Clark4Prez]

25. This is his element

Connecting with people is what he does best. Debates are fine, and Clark does ok, but he is at his best when he is in front of the people.

As I recall *, didn't do so good at debates either.

[NNN0LHI]

29. I would even expect his debating skills to improve in a one on one scenario

[MoonRiver]

30. Personally I haven't seen anything wrong with Wes in the debates,

But any candidate with real substance on the issues does better when given the bully pulpit than when only allowed to speak in short little sound bites.

[Jerseycoa]

49. His biggest problem has been

the questions he gets and doesn't get.

[Bread and Circus]

55. The problem is, Wes hasn't been in any debates...

What we have been given are not debates. The candidates
are not parsing the issues with a good give and take,
for the most part it has been a game of gotcha and who has
the best oneliners. That's why Sharpton has seemed to "win"
at least half the debates. He's got great comedic and emotional
delivery.

I definitely think Clark has disappointed in his "debate"
performances. I do hold him accountable.

However, the bigger problem is the dipshit DNC having Fox
news moderating at least 2 debates. What a joke.

[Kathleen04]

33. self-deleted n/t

[Kahuna]

42. He doesn't debate well, because the moderators always..

pick on him.

[mikehiggins]

50. Clark debates well. There haven't been any debates.

A debate requires two sides of an issue, and an impartial, disinterested moderator.

List those presidential debates held so far that meet those requirements.

[laruemtt]

23. never heard him like this!

he's hot! he could convert, well, i was gonna say * but who wants him :evilgrin:

[maddezmom]

24. he's on his game this am :) n/t

[MoonRiver]

26. "Go Wes Young Man"

is a sign at the rally! Love it!

[Kathleen04]

27. Q and A time

This'll be good.. :)

[BeyondGeography]

28. Pouring his heart and soul into it

This is why we love Wes, folks. He makes mistakes, but he's utterly sincere. This is not politics as usual.

[Kathleen04]

31. He's doing great!

He's energized, the crowd is excited and he's getting to answer alot of good questions. :)

[MoonRiver]

32. What an incredible man! What an incredible candidate!

I put those qualities in their order of importance to me. Wes really shines as a human being, and that's why he's going to beat the silly pants off of widdle sociopath junior!!!

:kick:

[maddezmom]

34. drug policy question? n/t

[MoonRiver]

35. Clark said he's finish the CIA leak investigation

He knows it's going nowhere until * is out.

[maddezmom]

36. "Walking on Sunshine" :)

and makes me feel good!!

[Kahuna]

37. I love his new "faith and family values" stump speech...

Too bad he didn't come up with it a little sooner. However, it should play very well in the south.

[maddezmom]

38. he did great this morning

:)

[MoonRiver]

41. I've always adored Clark but now I'm in awe!

This rally has been his best yet! It's only gonna get better, I predict. Clark and Gert are here to serve their country and they won't fail US. :grouphug:

[KittyWampus]

40. Do NOT Let The Psychological Warfare Get To YOU

Clark is the candidate who has the money, grassroots, winning/tied in polls in states ACROSS the country.

He has the most amazing endorsements... MANY tied to LOCAL and STATE groups!

Go post on Clarkblog and get off DU if you are feeling Jittery.

Turn the damned tv OFF.

Talk to the people in the Post Office and Grocery stores about Clark... dispel the lies.

Clark is flying under the radar. It is his STRATEGY.

[Kahuna]

43. He has honed his message. And, it's a winning message..

This is the message that will take us to victory.

[Jerseycoa]

56. Kahuna

Thanks so much. :pals:

That was the best medicine. Wes was really on point this morning. This is the candidate who will not hold fire on the Republican administration, yet will not inflict partisan damage to the nation as president. The president for the WHOLE country.

I love ya, Clarkies! :loveya:

[Kathleen04]

45. Anyone who's feeling

down HAS to watch that rally..that was excellent. :)

[MoonRiver]

44. Ted Danson discussing why he's supporting Clark.

His wife has known Clark for many years and convinced him of how great Clark is. Also, he believes that Clark will never put partisanship in front of what he knows is good for the country!

[rasputin1952]

46. Clark has the Fire in the Belly!

He took on bush with a passion, and his message is dead on target!
If you missed this, and it palys again, please watch it, this man is brilliant!

O8)

[maddezmom]

47. that's asshole Luntz is there

[Jerseycoa]

48. Is it still on?

Damn, I overslept.

But I got this email from a friend who had been leaning elsewhere.

"Thank you for keeping me on your list. I have been doing a lot of
thinking about the various Dem candidates and have come to the conclusion (rather late) the Clark is indeed the one. Your links and
newsletters have been one of the key factors in helping me make that
decision. Thank you."

It's a beautiful mornin'

GO WES!!

:bounce:

[maddezmom]

54. no, I had the screen open

had to clean up some puppy poop. :) I'm hoping it'll be replayed on CSPAN...it was excellent.

[Guaranteed]

51. Psshah! No Journey??

:) Confound it....

[Tom Rinaldo]

53. He ran down a list of why our nation is at risk

At the end, after the question period, he said he had a few things he had to say. He listed why our nation is at high risk. He included the terrorists who still haven't been caught, with our volunteer Armed Forces stretched thin by Iraq. (Clark values a volunteer Army, Bush is moving us back toward a Draft - these are my comments within this parenthesis). Clark said a nation that can not create jobs can not survive. But his last point was important. Clark said that the current Administration is the most closed, the most secretive, the most anti-democratic one in recent memory, and that it has placed our basic Liberty at risk.

Clark consistently levels the most radical charges made by any of our candidates positioned to possibly win the nomination (I said that for the benefit for Al and Dennis) against the Bush regime. He goes right at them, at the heart of their power. Wes is a man who literally has stood up to dictators in his life, and that experience shows.

[TexasSissy]

57. Yes, he was great. He does extremely well with crowds and

up close and personal. And how 'bout that Gert? She has what it takes to campaign for him. She's an awesome surrogate candidate.

[ajacobson]

58. Wes Jr is great too

n/t

[gulliver]

59. A couple of problems.

1. Higher standard of leadership wearing thin. Needs to freshen it with something like "America deserves better than Bush."

2. Quote about "giving the rest of the world a little piece of what we have" not good. Clark needs to make sure that he is talking about a positive sum game where all can benefit. Zero sum games let the pubbies pit the classes against one another.

[Loren645]

60. Woo Hoo! He'll make an exceptional president.

Yuppers.
