80. Great post! Very eloquent and well thought out!

Not much left to say, but regarding #1 will add my $.02 (or .03 in Euros.)

Clark has a huge advantage over Dean among several of the voting
blocks, especially the southern white male that voted for * in 2000.

It would seem to me that for a former shrub supporter, voting for someone other than the chimp would be more of an emotional vs. intellectual decision. The guy let me down, maybe Iraq could have been handled better, I'm concerned about my job, etc.

An angry, former Dr. who was governor of a small Northeastern state, changes religions on a whim, and thinks he can go to the south and essentially tell them they were wrong to vote for dumbya is not going to have anywhere near the chance of getting this vote when compared to a quietly confident military man from Arkansas who feels (at least in their mind) the same sense of betrayal they do. They can identify with Clark, not with Dean.

Clark is in a much better position to deflect criticism from bushco; it could even backfire. Not so with Dean.

Bush has to go, and Clark has the best chance of ridding us of this menace. I do not want this disgusting regime to have the opportunity to select 4-6 Supremes, or anything else they might have in mind.
