12. I am having trouble dealing with this development of Clark as
our parties spokesperson on our Democratic Plan. I don't question his military qualifications at all, I also think he comes off as a nice guy. I just can't figure out why Reid and Pellosi choose him to be out front on this. I realize my feelings have a lot to do with what I envision for Senator Kerry, but this can out of left field for me. Why Clark. Add to this the fact that the Clark supporters are dreaming with Presidential seals dancing in their head, it is just about all I can take.
Actually, it seems some of the media have ignored Clark, or at least not gone negative on him, and have gone after Kerry any way because he was in the background on this. Mocking how he has been reduced to just standing there while others promote what amounts to a great deal of his plan.
I just think this has all gone very badly except for the Clark people who aren't at all concerned about giving some credit where credit is due, and don't seem to care one bit about the plan. They just see this as party support for their guy and PR coverage.
The more I think about this the angrier I get at Reid and Paloisi. Did they set out to showcase Clark and ridicule Kerry? If I ever find out this is the case, I will never give another dime to any of them except for Kerry. That included Dean also, who seems to be silent on this too.
The only saving grace was that Senator Clinton wasn't out front either. Although, she hasn't been subjected to the same mocking Kerry has.

I'm done ranting now, thanks for reading. I welcome all comments.
