I dunno...I don't think the Clark people have quite gotten the hang of this web thing yet.

CRUCIAL AUSTRALIAN VOTE ENDANGERED

I’m still receiving Wesley Clark campaign spam (“Your participation in the democratic process counts! Together we can turn America around”). Reaching out to people not able to vote in the US is an innovative approach, but Clark isn’t exactly playing to his Australian audience:

I would say to the Europeans, I pledge to you as the American president that we’ll consult with you first. You get the right of first refusal on the security concerns that we have. We’ll bring you in.

What about us, Mr. General Dude? Are Australians to be relegated to some sub-French consultation category under your bigoted “first refusal” system? Any more of this and I’ll seriously consider not voting for you.

but the story is a perfect example of how small, ideologically driven media outlets are becoming part of U.S. politics, many observers said.

These certainly are exciting times.
