Fineman Trashes Dean while Jumping on Clark Bandwagon (for now)

And at the top - I love both these guys as Dem candidates - may the best man win. Either of these guys or both together I think can take back the WH!

The race has turned frantic to find the un-Dean for the Democratic presidential nomination. The frenzy reached a fever pitch today in this little Piedmont town, where Sen. John Edwards relaunched his campaign while the assembled national press corps focused on the news from Arkansas, where Gen. Wesley Clark was preparing to plunge into the race tomorrow. It was quite a scene: As Edwards took the stage to offer himself as tribune of common folk, journalists worked the phones to book the first flight to Little Rock.

In Iowa the other day, the Democratic state chairman told me to keep an eye on Edwards — that he could take off. That’s why I came here to Robbins. I am watching.

But Edwards’ effort to make a splash was obliterated today by the news that Clark was definitely about to enter the race. On paper, he has everything the Democrats think they need: He was against the war, but wore four stars as a general; he is a war hero, but believes in internationalism and global cooperation; he can be a cowboy like Bush, but can work with the world.

So while I am listening to what Edwards is saying here, I’ve got to go — I have a plane to catch.

1. I abhor howard fineman ...all he does is his superior act of

trashing the unworthy dems ...fineman is the one who is unworthy and certainly not newsworthy.

2. This just splits the anti-war vote in the primaries

And this could mean we get neither Dean nor Clark.

3. That's my one worry

That DINO Lieberman sneaks in, or one of the other candidates who may not be able to beat Chimpy.
