Reply #45: Please no flame wars...please.

The Clark and Kerry supporters at DU share many of the same goals, and certainly share a certain "mind set." A thread like this should not undo all of the peace we've made.

Of course I chose Clark. It is my belief that no matter what happens during the next few years, this damnable war and National Security will still have a place in the election. It is difficult for any senator who voted for the IWR to fully exploit the advantage of the bushes' failure, no matter what their feelings today, because of the change in their position. Nix anyone who hasn't changed their position like Hillary or Bayh.

Clark is free to play this trump card. He has many other cards that fate has dealt him, and therefore us. His baggage, fwiw, is of little to no value to the republicans. What are they going do, fault him for winning a war in three months? Being right on the money about this one? Besides: "After a great enmity some enmity remains." ~Lao Tzu. It will take a master diplomat and strategist, someone trusted by the moderate Arab leaders, to get us out of this mess no matter where we are.

As for his liberalism, the MSM gatekeepers have already dubbed him a moderate. Those four stars give him the leeway to be as liberal as he wants to be. Oh sure, they'll try and fault him for defending Michael Moore's freedom of speech, but I just don't think they'll get too far. Especially, since Moore will have a new film out slamming Big Pharma, everybody's favorite target of scorn.

A Southern liberal general, with just the right story and smile. When my daughter's friends saw Clark for the first time on tv, they just gasped: OMG, he looks like a president.

It's Clark for the easiest win, straight on til dawn.
