Clark can indeed be the wedge which uproots the Coulter type "treason" liars/bashers of everything Democrats, oincluding war heros. What Clark can do personally with it, if he can go all the way, is still in question, but no longer will the dirty tricks squads of the RNC be able to convince anyone Dems are un-patriotic. In fact, the Dems can now aim the same attacks at the right-wing, whose leaders all dodged the wars.
The RNC has been attacking Kerry alot for his war protests, trying to undermine his combat heroism. That won't work now either.
Clark will also help thin out the field. He will make Dean a second tier candidate and wipe out Lieberman, Edwards and Graham within 3-6 months. Gephardt also looks very weak in this new post-Clark entry poll. In 5th place. But he does have strong union support so he could hang in there.
Something else to remember is money. Clark is likely to raise a lot, but so far there are only three candidates who have truly raised enough to keep going. One is Edwards, who is out IMHO, the other two are Dean and Kerry. And of those two, who has the stronger message and chacne to beat Bush?
That's why Clark and Kerry will end up the top two, and probably team up in the end and also beat Bush. My prediction anyway. |
