11. For the record
It is easy to make a strong case for why Corporate media may be opposed to allowing Wes Clark gain furhter influence in American Politics without having to also make the case that they WANT John Edwards to gain influence. Clark knows critical things that none of the other Democrats are nearly as familiar with, and he may be more of an independent voice because Clark never had to become beholden to special interests to fund prior runs for office.

I prefer to approach this question that way, personally. Possibly they see Edwards as a safer bet than Clark, but that really is not automatically saying anything negative about Edwards, though in my book it says a lot positive FOR Clark. I get put off a bit sometimes by what I experience as John Edwdard's personal ambition, but I know that is a subjective thing than can be argued any number of ways. I fully accept John Edwards as a more or less Progressive Democrat with great ability and a sincere desire to make positive changes in this country. I support Wes Clark for Vice President.
