Clark is allowing the other candidates do his dirty work against Dean
Why is Clark trying to look so above it all while he sits back without attacking Dean while the other candidates attack Dean? He is getting stronger because he isn't attacking because the others are doing it for him.

Clark has a lot of nerve not attacking Dean.

1. Clark has not attacked anyone even though he has
been attacked by more than just Dean.

3. It's a good strategy
and one of the benefits of waiting so long before declaring. It's very wise.

I think had Clark entered a year ago, he would be in the fray right now. But he's a brilliant strategist. Good for him for staying mostly clean.

6. Good strategy
No reason to get dirty if others are going to do it. I won't say 'do it for you' because the others are doing it out of self-survival. Clark can reap the benefits. If I was in his position, I'd do the same thing.

19. LOL! Are you just trying to be provocative?
You do your DU moniker justice, but if you REALLY wanted to be an EFFECTIVE MIMStigator, you would adopt a Kerry avatar and blame Clark and his campaign for Kerry's apparent decline, or revert to the Clark avatar and deride Kerry and his campaign.

You might even "convert" from Kerry to Clark, and this time DOCUMENT the conversion.

Yep.

11. Dean will use other Dems to attack Clark
Dean has stated that Democrats shouldn't attack him because it makes the party weaker, so he is enlisting other Democrats to attack Clark. Talk about getting others to do your dirty work for you! I guess Dean doesn't want to seem like a hypocrite. This info was accidentally leaked to the press yesterday. It's from the horse's mouth. Check it out:

12. You are assuming
Edited on Wed Jan-07-04 03:06 PM by BOSSHOG
that General Clark would "attack" Governor Dean if other candidates did not. The General is attacking bush and rove. The General knows who the enemy is. If, perchance, Governor Dean gets the nomination, would he not have a great ally in General Clark, and no fences to mend? I believe the General is indeed an Officer and a Gentleman to those on his team. The General and the Governor and you and I are on the same team, aren't we?

Okay - got me.

18. Gephardt Liberman and Kerry arn't doing Clark's dirty work
They're doing it themselves. Because Clark is running a positive campaign while also being able to focus his anger on *, he doing better than any other candidate except for Dean himself.

27. Because it's not Clark's nature to be as attack-based as Lieberman.
Clark hasn't even criticized Shelton for his comments.

But Clark does point out why he, and not Dean, should be the nominee. That's what politics is about. He's not shy in that regard.

And that's sick.
