Why would the GOP plant a candidate who could trounce Bush? Sure, they're devious, but are they so devious that they would put a guy in office, a DINO for the sake of argument, who would just allow all their legislation to pass, and not be criticized? How would that be better than Bush getting four more years?

And what about party image? The Republicans need someone to bash. I can't imagine they would let any Democrat, even a DINO, just sit in office with everyone on their side saying "hands off." And I really can't imagine a guy like Clark going along with that. He's got a clean record, as far as I can tell, of telling the truth. Besides, a Dem who gives the Republicans a few victories is seen as a moderate--hard to hate. They can't allow that to happen.
