Clark knocks Graham back as the #1 VP pick and knocks Dean back as the outsider choice. He also may be the southerner of choice which knocks out Edwards.

Strangely, Kerry's support has never been based on his military experience. That just never gained traction. It's been frustrating that few people even know he has a Silver Star, because Kerry has always been reluctant to talk abuot it, though he did so a few weeks ago for sure. Now that Clark is in, maybe military experience WILL get more attention. The media will write "The other Silver Star Winner in the race", etc. That will help Kerry.

Kerry's #1 problem has been knocking Dean off his pedestal. Clark does that for him. I predict Dean is a goner now, back to second tier and contributions will dry up.

Bottomline, Clark helps Kerry in the long-run.
And no, Super Delegates do not automatically fall into line. They are highly controlled by the powers in the party. It is their insurance policy against the wrong type of outsider getting the nod. They hold the trump card.

Clark remember, wasn't even a Democrat until two weeks ago. He has a long way to go before anyone at the DNC will throw their support behind him.

Clark is a good thing becuse most of all he hurts Bush.
