Michael Moore coming up on CNN....NOW!
He's going to talk about why he's endorsing Wes Clark....right after the commercial.

2. He knows clark well,

7. In all honesty, he might well have been.
Unfortunately in this two party system, a third party candidate doesn't stand much of a chance at winning.

5. I think part of this may be...
that Moore raved about Clark in his book. He'd look pretty stupid if he didn't endorse him. Anyway, is this good for Clark? I don't think Moore will help him much in NH or the south.

6. *sigh* I will always have a soft spot
for Moore because of something he did for someone very special to me. Unfortunately his credibility is shot completely with me after this public endorsement letter. He's going against everything he wants to do, and it shows, imho. How very sad.

Note this is not a shot against Wesley Clark whom I have a great deal of respect and admiration for, it's a shot against Michael Moore for not doing what he knows is the right thing. Let me put it this way, when you have to manufacture points against a candidate to endorse someone else, you ought to know there's something wrong.

8. Makes me re-think support of Clark.....
Michael Moore is a hack, and he's just hurt Wes Clark more than anything else this week.
He can take his blue-jean wearing self back to his mansion, where he feels so sorry for the "little guy".
Maybe Clark will say he doesnt WANT his support. I know this will upset a few DUers, but I'm sorry, I just dont like Michael Moore.

9. I wouldn't go that far...
This is just another reason not to vote for him though. Being outed as a pandering, phony opportunist did the most damage. Come to think of it, no wonder Moore is endorsing him.
