Scott, Re: Similarly, (Chuck) Todd, editor of The Hotline, said Clark will have to make the transition "from being a cable-television candidate to an on-the-ground candidate." While I have found Todd to be generally quite well informed and insightful, he blows it on this call. There was just a segment on C-SPAN's Road to the Whitehouse segment featuring a New Hampshire Public Radio talk show host, who pointed out that as the race goes into high gear in the last few weeks before the primary, that the candidates spend little to no time with the voters, having become surrounded by the national media, and tend to concentrate on the big markets of Nashua and Manchester. The final campaigning is done on the Boston TV stations. So this plays quite naturally to Clark's strengths. I feel that he is probably the most telegenic of the candidates, with Edwards as a close second (aside from the recently developing growth on his upper lip). George Bush was chosen in 2000 strictly for his telegenic appeal, since it was a given that he was only one of dozens of qualified crooks.
