It has been irrefutably established that Clark is no classical liberal
Advertisements [?]
He gave a speech at the School of the Americas. He said he 'probably' would have voted for the Gulf War. He used depleted uranium weapons in the Kosovo war. He's a career soldier from the Pentagon wing of government.

Right? Right.

Neither is Dean, who is a Second Amendment guy and is far more of a centrist than the press would have you believe.

Neither is Kerry, for reasons that have been beaten to death, resurrected, beaten to death again, resurrected, burned at the stake, and then beaten to death again.

Clark. Kerry. Dean. None of them will fit the prerequisite perfection mold for the liberal base of the party. Though much of the monkey-shouting here has been about people misrepresenting various facets of these fellows' records, or accurately representing them as the case may be, one thing is certain.

*putting on Rick Pitino mask*

Adlai Stevenson is not walking through that door. George McGovern is not walking through that door. Dennis Kucinich is trying to walk through that door, but sadly and maddeningly will not make it off the porch.

OK?

Clark. Kerry. Dean. I'd bet my laptop that one of these fellows will be our candidate after the shindig in Boston next summer. None of them, not any of them, fit the righteous liberal mode.

Face it. Sleep on it. Decide what you're going to do.

Decide wisely. Please.
