If you were running Clark's campaign

[Doctor_J]

would you

1. Come out blasting - talking about opening up the 9/11 report, repealing the US Patriot Act, failing to catch the ANthrax killer, quagmires, 87 billions of dollars, "lack of military experience", etc.

2. Be nice - talk about deficits and generation 13-15, trees, ozone, "getting back on track", restoring America's greatness, adjusting budget priorities, etc.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

1. Both

Clark has an incredible talent at blasting away in a very sincere, believable, "nice" way.

2. 1, go at them strong and take no prisoners.

No more pussyfooting, I know clark will go at the Bush Administration extremely hard.

[Birthmark]

3. Here's what I'd do.

1. Stress my leadership abilities.

2. Point out the problems in America and state that I don't have all the answers, but know how to find them.

3. Compare my resume', including (especially) military service to Bush*'s.

4. Smile often to remind everyone of how g*ddamned handsome I am.

4. Keep on blasting

He already has them backtracking on Saddam 9/11 links. Should follow up on that in the days immediately ahead "So what else did you misstate Mr President*?" "Do you now backtrack on saying that a ta cut for the rich would cread jobs?" etc.

6. how exactly does Clark have them backtracking?

I understand that they're backtracking, but I believe it's more than a stretch to say Clark is responsible for this.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

9. Yup.

[elfin]

10. You're right

He's the latest to get airtime stating it. The fact that they are backtracking NOW, instead of earlier when Dean was saying it suggests to me that they think the press and the sheeple may think Clark has more credibility.

5. TELL THE TRUTH. Clark was drafted because he CARES

and not because he's a political animal. I believe he'll keep his honesty and integrity no matter what. If he loses because the morons either fix the voting machines or are too stupid to see through the Bush/Rove propaganda, so be it. I absolute do not want Gen. Clark to stoop to the level of a Puke.

But, I think he will win, and defeat the forces of evil who are currently running our country.

7. I've seen one too many elections in my life

for all the "we hate negativity" bullshit, the people eat it for breakfast and it is that "slam, bam" that makes them vote. Go for the juglar, Wes. He's already exposed. Tear it out and don't ever let him get back into this race. Chew his ass out and point out his lies and bullshit every time his little dim face is broadcast across America. Make your face the one that is broadcast. And trust me, if Bush keeps falling and Wes rises, they will be featuring a lot of Clark and little of Bush. On CNN and MSNBC they have already started mentioning that Bush is here or there speaking but they don't put us through the shiting speech from start to finish like they used to. Da Rock Star has fallen off the stage........bring on the new Rock Star!!!

8. YES YES YES

can we send this to americansforclark.com? No, really...I've also seen one too many elections in my life. You''ve nailed the reasons that the Dems need to run Clark.
