Reply #62: Clark is kind of the best of two worlds for us [View All]

[Tom Rinaldo]

He has Chicago roots but then he grew up on Little Rock, before leaving Arkansas to serve his nation around the country and the world. We can call Clark a southerner, but his identity is actually a national one, tied to a national institution, not to state and regional politics. Which is the case with Vice President Gore now also. It's not the same as a George W. Bush or John Edwards each claiming the mantle of "the southerner seeking the Presidency" from their respective political parties.
