Reply #98: Sure, but who are the voters he's after?

People on the whole don't want to hear that Powell Bush & Co. are evil bastards, they want to hear that the Democratic nominee cordially disagrees with them. :)

The people that want to hear "Powell and Bush are dangerous extremists" are on this board, or they are people who have been paying a good deal of attention to what's going on. Those who don't have a very specific idea or just watch TV news will like Clark's evenhandedness.

It's just political--no one with as much info as Clark undoubtedly has would believe the things he is saying--he's doing it to get votes. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Still, the enigma that is Clark isn't getting revealed to anyone. Being a military establishment guy, and being mysteriously removed as NATO commander are two serious strikes against him. This interview is just political manuevering. Dean already has a monopoly on activists--Clark ahs to go somewhere else.
