. . . but from what I've seen so far, I predict Clark will sink rather quickly.

3. Clark and Dean's Positions Appear to Be Very Similar |
|
If you read the whole article, anyway.

10. Yes they do. I noticed that when Clark was interviewed on NPR. |
|
And I still think they'd make a fantastic team.

So Clark is a warhawk because he led the campaign in Kosovo? He's a warhawk because he wrote some editorials criticial of the planning for Iraq where his answers were complicated and not just NO WAR!
Clark is only nominally Democratic because of why? Because he's in favor of civil unions for gays? Because he's pro-labor? Because he's pro-environment?
Oh yeah, I like Dean, just so you know. But I could just as easilly twist his comments on being in favor of Gulf War 1 and Afghanistan into somehow being hawkish.
You're a news guy, be fair.

4. Your question is unclear |
|
If it is what will I do if my candidate (Dean) isn't on the Ohio ballot, then it is vote for Kerry or Kucinich (Kerry is my second choice but if Kucinich needs to win Ohio to keep his seat he would be my second choice). If Dean is on the ballot he gets my vote.

Vote Democrat no matter who is nominated.
Last year, Will Pitt coined the term "Ham Sandwich Democrat" -- that if the Democratic Party nominated a ham sandwich, he'd vote for it before voting for the Republican.
It's not about blind party loyalty, it's about removing the Idiot Bastard Son from office before he plunges the USA and the world into a major depression, environmental collapse, and a permanent low-intensity war to make the Cold War look cold indeed.
This isn't easy to do in Philly. We have some of the best Republicans in the country, men and women who stand up to the radical NeoCons and at least sometimes try to stand for what the early Republican party was all about. But the stakes are much higher now, and until the GOP can rein in the bomb-throwers, those few remaining "honorable" Republicans will have to bear the brunt of their ill association.
Today, the political dialog is Conservative vs VERY Conservative. We need to move that to Liberal vs Liberal. Clark, Dean, Kerry, Kucinich ... whoever. They're all good enough, and most of them are very good, indeed.

since from what I've seen since the General's announcement he isn't devitalizing Dean's campaign at all. In fact his comments on "probably" supporting the Iraqi resolution and voting for Nixon and Reagan probably helped Dean with Dean's core supporters.
