Clark Supporters Fingernail Biting Thread

[funky_bug]

Okay friends... we can't wait for poor Skinner to find time to start the support threads. We need each other tonight. Get your candles, your smokes, and your booze, and pull up a chair by my fireplace.

[Kathleen04]

1. I'm here and nervous..

with fingers crossed!

[Joe the Revelator]

2. I'm not going to lie

this is the first time in the entire campaign i've actually been depressed over Clark. I just don't understand why his message isn't sticking. It BOGGLES my mind.

[funky_bug]

8. No need to lie here

I feel your pain. I don't know what could have happened differently. The message was there, the money was there, the grassroots support was there... and for the life of me I don't see what everyone sees in Kerry. Kucinich inspires me, Dean inspires me, hell, even Braun and Sharpton got me going back in the good ol' days...

But whatever happens, we found us a good man to believe in. No one can take that from us.

[Joe the Revelator]

15. Thats the kicker right there:inspiration

I was inspired by Clark from the beginning, but i could also find inspiration in Dean and Edwards and Braun and Cinch but not Kerry. He's just old guard and does nothing to get "the fire in my belly" stoked. It just kills me

[goclark]

75. Ditto

This is so painful. Just heard the Virginia results.
I am so mad because Iowa,not hardly representative of the United States, is the whole reason that Kerry is in the lead.
If it had not been for the Iowa and New Hampshire vote,he would not even be in the running.He was putting everyone to sleep in all the debates. Then Bingo- the genie comes out of the media nottle.

What would have happened if everyone had there Primary on the same day? I am steamed that no urban area even had a chance to vote. This is an outrage.

I am praying that DEAN,CLARK(my heart),DK and Edwards will go on to Super Tuesday. The Democratic Party is trying to win,I'm for that, but this anointing is so sad this early.
Terry Mc A is not my favorite person right now.

My candles are lit.

[Joe the Revelator]

82. We Have GOT to go Back to a Longer Primary Season

This front loaded season was the most counter productive experience ever.

[Jerseycoa]

93. Just horrible

They should be so ashamed of themselves. I'm this close to leaving the party after Nov.

[Joe the Revelator]

97. I've going to have to re-evaluate

I'm going to work my ass off to get Bush out of office, and then I'm going to take the next 4 years to rethink my career plans and my party affiliation if this goes the way it looks like its going to go.

[Crunchy Frog]

130. Me too!

If they throw away this election and give the country to Bush for another 4 years, I am leaving, and I am going to give them an earful when I do it. I simply can't stick with a party that would rather lose and become marginalized into insignificance than to take a chance and risk real change.

I've already decided that if I want to belong to a party that can't win elections at least it will be a party that stands for something. I'm looking at joining the Greens after this election cycle is over.:grr:

[Kathleen04]

9. I know..

when he first entered the race..before I was even decided on him, I thought that people were going to flock to him because, even just on paper, he was so impressive.

[maddezmom]

16. sad, that more folks can't see what we all do n/t

[HoosierClarkie]

46. He can't get his message to everyone because

it comes through such a filtered lens called the media. Clark has fought a damn good fight. We have so much to be proud of! Cheer up, it is not over! :hug:

[laruemtt]

3. i'm nervous but

also more cynical than ever. we had the best candidate within our grasp and let him go...................

[funky_bug]

10. Hey now

You're going to make me CRY! Just remember, we didn't let him go...

I'm seriously questioning my party at this point. May be an indy before the race is over.

[Mass_Liberal]

30. we're in the same damn boat

I think the exact same thing about Dean. He's so great, and I can't believe that we're letting him slip through our fingers. But, like Dean, Clark ain't done yet.

[Joe the Revelator]

38. It was suppose to be our damn race!

Howard V Wes
Clark V Dean

it would have been beautiful, two outsiders changing washington whether D.C. was ready for it or not.

I'd kill to be able to turn back the clock to December '03 and start this again with some hindsight.

[funky_bug]

80. Oh my god

You are so right! All the infighting between us and the Dean folk... if I could turn back time...

[Joe the Revelator]

87. Who would have haver seen it coming down to this?

If it wasn't so sad, i'd laugh.

[Mobius]

66. Clark Dean or Dean Clark as indys!!!

Id vote for em over frat boy! :kick:

[henslee]

141. Yeah, so would I --SUPERKICK.

[MidwestMomma]

89. I am so inspired and hopeful not just because of our candidates

But their supporters. I have hope that things can turn around in this country but the fight has just begun. No matter the outcome of this night or any future primaries, I hope Clark and Dean continue to get their message out to the people.

Thanks for you support. Right back at ya!

Go Wes!

[tishaLA]

60. That's also my feeling

it really makes me cynical about the whole process. I know we have had very good candidates in the past who didn't get the nomination--Teddy comes to mind immediately--but have they ever been so shut out in getting their message out? I feel like so much of the campaign is the "horserace" now and not the issues. Electability plays a part in this, too: when we say someone is or appears electable, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Ah yes! He looks good in a suit! He has a "presidential" aura! He exudes confidence! (Hell, I'd exude confidence too if I were winning primaries!).

It sickens me.

[maddezmom]

candle lit

wine is poured. :) Don't what's going to happen tonight, but one thing is for sure, Wes will always have my support.

[MidwestMomma]

4. Me and my candle and my smokes and my Rolling Rock

Hope you have a BIG ashtray!

Go Wes!

[funky_bug]

14. Hey Momma!

I gots me a big ol' ashtray. Welcome!

[WilliamPitt]

5. May I ask, as a non-Clark-person,

what you are hoping for? Tennessee results?

I only ask so I know where to send you my karma.

[Tom Rinaldo]

11. I would love Clark ending up solidly in Second Place

His positive distance from Edwards is more important than his negative distance from Kerry. Obviously I would love Clark to outright win, but that is what I am hoping for.

[Kathleen04]

13. yep, TN n/t

[Tatiana]

19. TENNESSEE.

We need Tennessee. Period. We win Tennessee, we'll do no worse than second in Wisconsin.

It would be nice to have VA, but with low turnout... eh. Prolly won't happen.

[Kathleen04]

23. They've already projected Kerry the winner in VA...

supposedly Clark is in 3rd.

[funky_bug]

28. Last time I looked, he was in fourth

Behind Edwards and Sharpton.

[funky_bug]

32. BITE MY TONGUE

He's in third!

Kerry 15,412 50% 0 8% reporting results by county voter survey results
Edwards 8,277 27% 0
Clark 3,267 11% 0
Sharpton 1,502 5% 0
Dean 1,483 5% 0
Kucinich 280 1%
It's a distant 3rd, but at least he's not trailing Sharpton again. That was humiliating!

And once again, Kerry walks away with it. (*&$)(*&)@&$

[Kathleen04]

35. Sheesh

You kinda scared me there!

[Joe the Revelator]

49. No offense to Kerry supporters...

but i abhor watching them celebrating in VA. :evilgrin:

[Mobius]

76. If he maintains 3rd it could work

This Hanoi Jane thing is really pissing people off. Might buy us the time we need! GREAT NEWS!:grouphug:

[funky_bug]

81. You're right

A delegate or two, and more Hanoi Jane and the anti-Dean commercial revelation, and Kerry goes down. Oh what a day!

[HoosierClarkie]

20. I am hoping for

fair coverage of whatever happens and a close second in TN.

[funky_bug]

22. Hi Will

Thanks for dropping by. The beer is in the fridge, the restroom is down the hall to your right, and the pizza will be here in about an hour.

Will, we need TN. We need it BAD. I think anything less than a second will be a disappointment, BUT if we can keep Edwards down again, we will probably take it.

[MidwestMomma]

27. A good showing in Tennessee but also that Clark will not give up

I want him to stay in the race because his message is important and I want people to get a chance to see what options are available to our party and our country.

Thanks for the Kharma! Send him and all us strength and hope.

Go Wes!

[funky_bug]

Mostly, we need hope

I've been distant from DU lately, because I can see us losing our MO. Our personal MO, that is. We're beaten, bruised, and sad. I don't have any pep talks. I'm counting on TN and George Jones to pull me through.

Put some George Jones on the stereo and get with the drinkin'.

[mmonk]

31. TN showing of second

[leftchick]

33. How about sending your karma to Clark wherever he may be...

We need him bigtime. I lit a candle in my church today. My first intention was to oust this lying evil cabal in power. My second was for the leadership of Wesley Clark to win and pull us out of this unGodly mess bushco* has put us in.

[MoonRiver]

61. Please, send it to Tennessee!

O8)

[BootinUp]

6. I just wanna say to Wife_of_a_Wes_Freak

That was a very spirited battle in the other thread. I think we are all proud of you.

Ok back to the nailbiter

:beer:

:beer:

:) better

[funky_bug]

26. Hey Jim

I was on some kind of roll, huh? Glad you drove by to lend a hand! She did finally give up, sadly enough. God I love being RIGHT!

[laruemtt]

48. what thread was that, wife?

i want to read it!

[funky_bug]

62. Exit Polls

Someone started an exit poll thread earlier, and I went way the hell off on AP for suggesting Clark get out of the race so Edwards could take on Kerry.

Remember that song, "Take on me" back in the 80's? I've been singing it in my head ever since...lol

[laruemtt]

83. thanks, wife.

those were great arguments you made and i agree wholeheartedly. clark is just so obviously brilliant and the best i don't see why everyone doesn't see this. immense frustration. gonna have to take a break for a while and come back fighting if he does get out of the race.

[boxster]

100. I hear ya.

I had a similar conversation with said individual yesterday when it was claimed that Clark was only in the race to lower his own personal taxes (among other things.) That was a new one!

Oh, and Clark only gets paid in stock or stock options. Did you know that? Of course you didn't - it isn't true!

Sometimes desperation can be funny.

[Leilani]

118. That seems to be a common refrain tonite

Donna Brazile just said on CNN, that Edwards wants to go head to head with Kerry.

Also, still talking about Oklahoma, if only, blah, blah.

I'm quite tired of the thinking that Edwards belongs in this race & Clark doesn't.

[Mass_Liberal]

7. good luck folks!

crossing my fingers for Clark. (and Dean)

[tishaLA]

67. Thanks M_L

and good luck to Dean in the future, too!

[wndycty]

12. No reason to be nervous. . .

. . .either Clark will represent the Democratic party in November (damn I am hoping and praying) or either he won't. But I am in for the long haul and whomever the nominee is, is going to win with all of our help. I am so excited about November I cannot stand it. I want Clark to steer the ship but I am happy with whomever we choose! I hope you guys know how much of my time and money I have invested in supporting General Clark, regardless of what happens tonight I am confident that we (the Democrats) have what it takes to win in November!!! Chin up! Man up! Fight on! As long as Clark is in it I am fighting for him. . .but regardless of what happens there is nothing thats going to keep me from fighting!!!

[Qutzupalotl]

39. Agreed. Clark's in it for the long haul.

As people get to know Kerry and his record, they might come to see what we've known all along... Clark is the right man at the right time!

[MoonRiver]

17. Alright. I'm here and lighting a candle for my General.

May the best man, Wes Clark, win.

[Auntie Bush]

18. I'm sitting next to you....to your right in a comfy swiver rocker.

Right in front of your fireplace. Enyoying the warmth.
Drink in hand (wine) and added a candle to the hearth. A big one.

[maddezmom]

hehe, my cand;es been burning for a while

But, I'm in my office with a fan on, it's hot as blazes here. ( No air conditioning in Peru)

[funky_bug]

I have a swivel rocker?

Damn? How long have I been drinking?

LOL

Welcome!

[meow mix]

21. im all set, nails well chewed

got a coffee, a Nutragous and some peanut butter M&Ms..
and playing my favorite Apoptygma Berzerk songs.

ok, time to win clark! plz =)

[funky_bug]

42. Me-OW is right!

Thanks for the pic!

[Mobius]

101. I touched Wes on Sunday

:loveya:

[flamingyouth]

24. I fear I've cursed him

I'm a Clark delegate in Washington. :-( :cry:

[Jerseycoa]

72. flamingyouth, no

:hug:

We need you.

[flamingyouth]

92. I'm not giving up

Just noticing that things haven't gone well for Wes since our caucus <sigh>

[Qutzupalotl]

25. Here's something to cheer you up.

[Justice]

37. I Love That Flyer

The first time I read it, I knew Clark had more dignity and class in his little finger than most see in a lifetime.

[Leilani]

126. That is just terrific

Too bad, some changed their tunes.

is as nervous about Clark as you guys are :-) .

[Joe the Revelator]

41. Ha!

can you bite metal nails?

[Nashyra]

79. Clark is the best man for the job

The establishment is afraid of real change which is what Clark represents.(Dean too) The thought of not being able to business as usual in Washington is daunting. Kerry is the establishment and the people are believing the newscast instead of doing their research, if they were Clark would be the front runner. What a shame. When I refer to some people as sheeple I do not refer to the original Kerry supporters, I refer to the politicians that want to "go on record" as supporting the front runner. There are some who believe passionately in Kerry as I believe in Clark, but the majority now are the ABB bunch who think it is just easier to follow the crowd. It is so much better for our party to keep the primaries going because the longer it goes on the lower *'s poll numbers go but Terry Maculiffe "wants" a nominee sooner than later. Congratulation to the true Kerry supporters, shame on those who just piled on the bandwagon. I would have liked to see some of these govenors or long term politicians stick their necks out for real change, I hate the fact that the media is complicit in picking the nominee. 3rd party here I come AFTER the Nov election in time for 2008, I don't care if Kerry is the President.

[Jerseycoa]

36. Here!

If it's any indication, I have a shaker of Bombay Sapphire martinis at hand, very dry. :scared:

Sorry I missed your battle, Wife. You go, girl!

[funky_bug]

45. Hey J-girl!

It was quite a battle indeed. Some gratuitous Edwards supporter said we should get out of the race and get behind Edwards so he can have a chance to go after Kerry.

Um... let me think about this for a minute...

HELL NO?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!

I gave her what for all the way through next week. LOL Good times, good times.

[Jerseycoa]

53. I may have just

zapped one of those down below.

[Leilani]

135. I'm sorry I missed it also

The Edwards refrain has been growing more hostile since Oklahoma.

I spend a good part of my time defending Wes against Edwards people.

But what is their goal? He is not qualified to be Pres. I think they want Veep.

[knight_of_the_star]

40. I'm here

And hoping and praying that Wes pulls it off in Tennessee. If he fails to get first or second there, he's gone. That can't happen.

[Julien Sorel]

43. LOL

I don't drink or smoke, but I'm with you in spirit ;-)


I've been through this before. I worked for John Anderson in 1980, supported John Glenn in 1984, Gary Hart in 1988, and finally hit paydirt with Clinton in 1992. All of these guys were thinking man's candidates, and so is Clark. It's tough for a candidate like that in America. I have some friends from Europe, and they say that smarts count more than anything else over there, and they also like Clark, if that's any good cheer.

[scheming daemons]

44. Even though you're hurting...

I hope you'll all jump over to the Edwards campaign for March 2 after your man drops out.

Wes Clark is a quality individual, but he's going to withdraw now. The writing is on the wall. Edwards is beating him 3-to-1 in Virginia.

After tonight, only John Edwards will have a chance to stop the Kerry train wreck.

If we combine the Clark and Edwards supporters, we can stop Kerry and have a chance to defeat Chimp boy.

Exit polling from Virginia shows Edwards getting even more veteran voters than Clark.

Edwards is the Dems best chance in November now.... join us and stop the Herman Munster campaign....

[Kathleen04]

50. Please

I like Edwards but it's not looking too great for either of our guys right now, so let's drop this 'after your guy drops' stuff.

[incapsulated]

52. How many strikes before you're banned again?

:grr:

[funky_bug]

68. 3

I'm gonna use two of them in about five seconds if this shit doesn't stop.

[incapsulated]

86. You'll have to do it for me then

Cause I'm one short of outta here. (this place is turning into a communist kindergarden, I swear)

Take one for the team. :)

[funky_bug]

96. Someone beat me to it

Knight_of_a_Star is the proud recipient of the Clark Bullet Award.

[incapsulated]

104. Brave Knight

His sacrifice will not be forgotten. :toast:

(Fortunately it was merely a flesh wound.)

[knight_of_the_star]

143. I've had worse!

LOL, I love that movie!!!

[knight_of_the_star]

146. Do I get a little plaque with that?

Or maybe a shrubbery?

[scheming daemons]

121. I've never been banned...

you must have me confused with someone else. I didn't post anything that should result in being banned.

I have an opinion that Edwards is our best chance to defeat Bush. You obviously disagree.


I think Clark would have been a better choice than Kerry.... but Clark is losing momentum now, not gaining. Edwards is at least treading water.


Why do you think I've been banned?

[Joe the Revelator]

54. Not now please

you're really just going to push people away

[Tom Rinaldo]

55. I suggest you work on your bed side manners. Start your own thread. n/t

[funky_bug]

57. Let's see ... where have I heard this before?

Oh yes, fifteen minutes ago.

No, HELL NO, A THOUSAND HELL NO-S, and you can shove that way way way up in Oklahoma where the wind blows gently through the trees.

Edwards lost me when he posted his little 2nd place in OK banner on his website. Edwards supporters lost me when they said my guy should get out of the race because he's hurting their guy's campaign.

Thanks, but no thanks. Beer is in the fridge, restroom is down the hall... you're still welcome to join, but I'm not going anywhere.

[Leilani]

147. Thanks for that..agree completely

it started before Oklahoma, but that was the turning pt.

The Edwards people have really hurt themselves, & their candidate.

I've been in several brawls here, & it ain't pretty.

[BootinUp]

63. *massive pile on* heh

If I have to make up my mind right now, which I don't, it would hardly be for the candidate AKA Breck boy.

[funky_bug]

85. Yes, I guess they can take that as a collective...

...NO!

Nice pile on, guys! I love my Clark family!

[MidwestMomma]

64. Posts like these really inspire me to get behind Edwards....

NOT!

Go Wes!

[HoosierClarkie]

70. I am

biting my <insert expletive here> tongue!!!!

:mad:

[tishaLA]

78. Will I get a warning for saying

"piss off"?

BTW, I would support Joe Lieberman before Edwards, because Lieberman is more of a leftist than the other one is.

[knight_of_the_star]

84. Excuse me, but

FUCK OFF YOU BASTARD!!!

[funky_bug]

90. LOL

I think that's gonna be your first warning...lol. But in my humble opinion, you spoke for us all.

Just like Clark, you may be taking the bullet, but you were right on target!

[knight_of_the_star]

127. So what!

It needed being said!

[HoosierClarkie]

98. Ha! n/t

[incapsulated]

110. Yes, please do!

:toast:

[maddezmom]

113. thank you!!

[scheming daemons]

131. sorry...

... if I offended you.

I would jump on the Clark bandwagon if he was beating Edwards 3-to-1 tonight. But he's not.


I have an opinion that Kerry will be a very poor GE candidate. I think Edwards or Clark would be better. But obviously Clark is falling back now, and the Edwards and Clark campaigns need to team up.


I respect the Clark campaign and thank the General for running.


I'm sorry about my original wording, but geez... giving people strikes because they disagree with you? I would never give you a strike for telling me to "fuck off". That's your opinion and your free speech right.

[boxster]

We're not interested in jumping on anyone's bandwagon, thanks.

We believe in our candidate.

[knight_of_the_star]

149. Excuse me, but

You were being VERY rude right there. Would you walk up to someone at their funeral who's spouse just died and say, "Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?"

That is ABOUT how it came across to me, and how I responded there is how I would respond in that hypothetical situation.

[scheming daemons]

151. You're right...

I apologize for the tone of my original post.



I'm just desperate to beat Bush... and I'm afraid Kerry can't do it.


...though I will support him if he gets the nomination.

[funky_bug]

94. By the way, IF that happens, I'm supporting Dean.

Scared yet?

[scheming daemons]

137. Great!

Dean is a better choice than Kerry too...

Personally, it would be great if the race was 25-25-25-25, so we could keep this excitement going until the convention.


But the establishment has made their choice... they chose Kerry. If the rest of us want a say, we have to team up.

Whether that means teaming up for Edwards, Clark, or Dean... fine. Pick one.

I like Edwards, but I'd just as soon jump on the others' bandwagon. It just looks like Edwards has the best shot now... but a long one.

[PatGund]

108. In a word - no

I don't like Kerry. But I like Edwards less.

[Mobius]

116. its called a write in

I vote for Clark no matter what! get used to it! :kick:

[lovedems]

47. Ahhh, the fire feels so cozy!

I am really hoping for some good karma! The General deserves it!

He is the man!

[Mobius]

51. KERRY IS THE DEVIL!!!!

What am I gonna do! :cry:

[funky_bug]

71. 666 Satan Way?

You crack me up!

[Mobius]

122. 322 mark of SATAN I tell you! 322!!!

322 :evilfrown: 322!

[Exgeneral]

73. What do do?

Vote for the devil youknow?
Or the devil we don't?
Frankly I'm torn.

[maddezmom]

56. Just got 2 letters from Wes Clark

Got it in my mailbag from the states, that only is sent 2 times a month. One from 1/26 and 1/29....let's just say I'm a little weepy. He's the man we need in the White House.

[funky_bug]

74. I just got one today too

I did tear up. God how I believe in that man!

[incapsulated]

58. I'm Here!

But I'll be drifting in and out for a while.

Go Clark!

[jpgpenn]

59. I'm not biting my nails...

I was totally expecting this considering what the Dem washington insiders along with the Repukes and media have done to Clark. There was no possible way for this great man to get anywhere when the people that once backed him ( because they thought Kerry was washed up ) suddenly disappeared when their Washington Insider buddy stepped in shit from the Iowa election!

[henslee]

65. Kick Kick Kick, just got here.

[Jerseycoa]

69. VA: 17% reported - Clark in 3rd

Kerry 27,991 51% 0
Edwards 15,505 28% 0
Clark 5,775 10% 0
Dean 2,798 5% 0
Sharpton 2,134 4% 0
Kucinich 558 1% 0

Don't mind me. I just have to do something so I don't :cry:

Maybe I should pour a first one :beer:

Candles lit.

[funky_bug]

77. No tears till TN

We didn't expect big things in VA. Let's hold out... my eBlock calls to TN were very encouraging!

[henslee]

88. No tears period. Call me naive but I dont see Wes going away anytime soon.

The man has struck a chord with many. It will be interesting to see how his following morphs into something else.

[MoonRiver]

99. I agree. Basically Dems are voting for who they think can best beat *

Clark hasn't been on the radar screen for most to understand how incredible he would be against selected moron. Clark's still in his prime. Look for him to be in a very significant Democratic influence, regardless of what comes down during this election. The primary thing among voters (based on my Clark calling experience) is getting Dim Son out of office.

[sadiesworld]

91. Clark Supporters Fingernail Biting Thread

Clark has not only been smeared by the mainstream press, but has received little help from liberals(unlike Dean). I do believe that the ultimate goal on the right has always been to take Clark down. I predict that when Clark goes the media will turn on Kerry with a vengeance and push Dean again. No offense to Dean supporters-he is my second choice-polls be damned.

[HoosierClarkie]

107. Hi.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[democratreformed]

95. Candles lit. Computer very slow. Sick feeling in stomach. n/t

[MoonRiver]

105. Keep the faith.

:grouphug:

[lovedems]

111. I have that same sick feeling.

I don't think it is going away anytime soon. :cry:

[democratreformed]

102. Noticed CNN has this in their spread about Virginia:

"Sen. John Edwards of Tennessee will finish second." I think such blatant stupidity by the media cannot possibly be mistakes.

[Jerseycoa]

103. VA: 41% reported - Clark still 3rd

Kerry 67,633 50% 0
Edwards 37,192 28% 0
Clark 13,189 10% 0
Dean 7,399 6% 0
Sharpton 5,356 4% 0
Kucinich 1,446 1% 0


Man, they sure count fast in Virginia.

[funky_bug]

106. Come ON TN!

Goddamn! I use to work in the music biz in Nashville, and I know those guys are slow southerners, but goddamn would they post the friggin' polls already? Shit! I gotta go watch AI with my kids at 8pm!

Y'all keep the fire burning while I'm gone, k?

[Jerseycoa]

109. Gotcha back, Wife nt

[funky_bug]

114. You're my girl!

Thanks! You ALWAYS watch my back!

Keep the faith guys. I don't know about you, but that Edwards flake really fired me up!

112. Evening, Wife o' a Wes Freak!

You're usually so darn optimistic. I can always count on your posts to remind me why we're fighting for our guy!

Here's hoping that TN pulls through for Wes.

117. I know how you feel guys...

I'm not very nervous about this one 'cause Dean did not expect anything... I'll feel the same during the WI one... No matter what, Clark should stay until the end, if he can.

[Leilani]

And same for Dean...he should be heard...big time!!

152. Smoke 'em if you got em soldiers!

This is just a break in the fighting. Tomorrow we move out double time to Wisconsin...

First order: Ignore Wolf Blizter and all the other media asswipes. They haven't got any more clues about Wes Clark's plans than anyone else does other than Gert.

Order # Two: Ignore any of the other campaign pissants who come in telling you to pack up and reform with some other troop. Ain't gonna happen, so just sit tight tonight.

Order # Three: Not ONE of you is low class or nasty enough to sink low and go off on anybody in here. The General is better than that--and so are we.

Order # Four: Suck it up. We CAN do this. You can drink all you want, you can chew your nails up to your elbows, but it won't do the General any good at this point. The only thing you can do is stay strong in your support and maybe send the campaign a note of support while we wait it out.

Order Five: Somebody hand me the Scotch, a match and the makings... :)

Pax to you all, We'll get thru this.
