The only way to really find out is see what they would do in office. I think Dean has become more liberal than his past record would show, and Clark seems pretty liberal from past statements, but the proof is in the pudding. Between the two I would say Clark would have a big electability edge on Dean, I don't know if Dean really could make a legitimate presidential run after what the media did to him. Clark on the other hand, has the General military hero thing going on (and doesn't have the "traitor" baggage/right-wing smear line of attack that Kerry was subjected to because Clark didn't speak out against Vietnam back then) and could draw republican "I love the military, god and country" red state votes.
