Reply #63: Just to note

As someone who was once in a field that required (well, USED to require) me to be impartial (yes, yes... I was in the media!) and as someone who lives in a state that allows me to forgo registering in ANY party, I can certainly understand Clark's position as remaining an Independent lo those many years.
I have voted for Republicans, myself (and, actually, intend to do so again when Jimmy Duncan Jr., one of the few Republicans with the balls to stand up to the deficit-monster Bush, runs for office again), but I generally stand with the Dems when it comes to social issues and voted for them more often than not for national positions.
I can agree with his appeal to Republicans like those who would follow Duncan or McCain, for example, except that they want the pro-choice part of the plank in tact.
Just call me a "security Mom" with a penchant for the choices that allowed me to BECOME a Mom. :)
And, please, please, please, John Kerry (my second choice, my bud!) put Clark on the ticket for me, for my son and for all those Republicans I know that think Bush is a faux GOPher!
