3. Neither a delgate or superdelgate...

It's just like Madonna endorsing Clark.

:eyes:

[poopyjr]

4. Or Gore.

[Hawkeye-X]

17. Gore is a superdelgate

thusly, a important endorsement for Dean. Try again.

19. Isn't Gore a superdelegate?

So at least he gets a vote on the floor of the convention, if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway, I think this one is a cool endorsement and I'm the guy that invented the term "Enronomics".

:evilgrin:

[BOSSHOG]

5. A Broad Based support network nonetheless

Now if Ms Plame would endorse the General??

[Cocoa]

8. Joe Wilson has already sided with Kerry

I think the ultimate prize would be Kristin Brietwieser, I think she was actually a republican but she's now getting jerked around by them.

7. Just a strong voice for justice. Great endorsement.

I know, Dean supporters were disappointed that Dean wasn't
selected this year. I feel your pain.

Back to the point, this is a fabulous endorsement!

13. She didn't endorse Dean so she's irrelevant. n/t

20. Yes, that's the way things work around here now.

Only those who endorse Dean are of any importance whatsoever.

[JohnKleeb]

22. Its a good and interesting endorsement

Sorry your thread had to be butted in to, congrads on the endorsement.

[LiberalBushFan]

14. that's a funny response

coming from a supporter of "uber-outsider" "anti-establishment" Dean. Outside is inside is upside-down.

12. Here is a story

Enron whistleblower endorses Clark

01/02/2004

Associated Press


The woman who blew the whistle on Enron Corp.'s accounting problems endorsed Wesley Clark for president Friday, saying she believes he has the integrity to run the country.

In a telephone conference call, Sherron Watkins of Houston said she first saw Clark speak at a conference over the summer and was impressed with his vision and composure. She said she began supporting him during a national "Draft Clark" campaign before he announced as a candidate for the Democratic nomination.

"He really floored me with his long-term vision for America and how he handled the question-and-answer session with his answers on the war on Iraq and the war on terrorism," she said.

A former Enron vice president, Watkins warned company chairman Kenneth Lay in 2001 that the firm could collapse as a result of extensive false accounting. She resigned after the company filed for bankruptcy and was named one of Time magazine's Persons of the Year for 2002.

"My Enron experience has brought home to me just how important the tone at the top is," she said.

Watkins said she believes President Bush has misled the public, "blurring the line" between the war in Iraq and efforts against terrorism. She said she supports Clark because "he's got integrity, he's not going to mislead the American people and he has a longterm vision."

As a retired Army general, Watkins said, Clark has the credentials to combat terrorism and the diplomatic skills to ease tensions between the U.S. and allies who opposed the war in Iraq.
