John: Thanks for sharing your insights...Here's a copy of an email I just received from my younger brother (who is getting an MFA in Creative Writing at University of Arizona)... <<...Scott, This was definitely an interesting article by Michael Moore. It certainly makes a strong case for Clark, and it got me to at least consider voting for him. I've also forwarded the article to one of my friends who will be voting here in the Arizona primaries. I'm still undecided, though I think I can say that I've virtually ruled out Dean. However, I think both Kerry and Edwards deserve careful consideration. Of all the candidates, Kerry has the resume that impresses me most (and Bush could not legitimately attack Kerry on issues of national security). I haven't seen a lot of Edwards, but he has the moxie that none of the others has--including Clark. Plus he's southern, handsome, and is really a self-made person--these things won't be discounted by average voters, especially those on the fence. I like a lot of Clark's positions, but I have some reservations about voting for a career military person. Maybe it's all the time I've spent in Latin America, where generals often become presidents (and usually bad ones, hungry for power). Though one could easily point to Eisenhower as a great example of a general becoming a successful president. So I haven't discounted Clark. I'll be watching how things unfold in New Hampshire over the next week. I think it got doubly difficult for Clark now that Edwards, a fellow southerner, has surged. My guess is that whichever one of them doesn't win South Carolina is probably out. Those are just my thoughts on this today...>>
