Wes and Dennis [View All]

[CarolNYC]

A couple of recent threads got me thinking about this.

Long ago, when I hardly knew who Gen Clark was and had no idea, not being aware of the draft, that there was a possibility of him running, I decided Dennis Kucinich was the candidate that best fit what I was looking for...but he didn't seem able to win and I deemed it vital that we get Bush out of the White House.

When I found out about the draft, I decided to check into the General, who had intrigued me in an interview he did with salon.com before the start of the Iraq War. As I learned more about Clark, I discovered that not only did he seem to have a better chance of winning, but he was really a good, good man. The more I learned about him, the more I respected and admired him. Eventually, I fell hook, line and sinker and, although I still do love Dennis, I'm a Clarkie all the way now.

I know I am not the only Kucinich-turned-Clark supporter. I knew others. And, as I've said elsewhere, those I worked with in the Clark campaign who attended, as representatives of the General, events where supporters of other candidates were present said that Kucinich supporters were by far the most welcoming of all the other candidates' supporters, some of whom were downright hostile.

I always just assumed, from my experiences in the real (non-cyber) world, that although on the surface it would seem unlikely, when you looked deeper, there was a real affinity between Wes and Dennis supporters.

Yet, there are some posts on this forum that would make you believe that Kucinich supporters and Clark supporters are on totally opposing and totally irreconcilable ends of the spectrum.

So, finally, my question is, are there any others here who were originally supporters of Dennis, who turned to Clark...or vice versa...or any who actually, like me, think the world of both men?

Thanks.
