Cark adds life to the party

[quinnox]

Interesting commentary from the NY Daily:

That giant sucking sound you hear is black-hole oblivion swallowing up at least five or six Democratic presidential aspirants as the new guy presents himself. The conventional wisdom, such as it is, has been that Wesley Clark is really after the vice presidency, not the top job.

You can bet that every one of the Gang of Nine has given more than passing thought to the potent possibilities of sharing a ticket with him. Clark's decision to go all the way surely distresses even the front-runners of the bunch. The rest of them might as well just pack their bags and be done with it.

Thus, Candidate Clark has performed a genuine public service already. His mere presence in this dramatically refactored political calculus will effectively weed out and finish off several of these hopefuls who do not seem to have grasped that they are nonstarters. As for the thunderous Howard Dean, it may be observed that Candidate Clark's opposition to the Iraq war resonates with more authentic four-star conviction than his ever can. Don't look now, Deanie Weenies, but your man just lost the strongest card in his hand.

None of which is to suggest that Clark - even if his campaign comes truly roaring out of the gate, as well it might, his current lack of funds and organization notwithstanding - presents a serious challenge to President Bush at this point.

1. Naw---he doesn't present a serious challenge to a man who

can dress up in a flight suit and has fucked up everything he touches!!!!!!! Bush has four stars himself. They are named:
A, W, O, and L

I just like the idea that Clark has the freeps in a total meltdown.
Like to watch them squirm.
