"General Wesley Clark is fast emerging as the Democrat's preferred candidate to take on George W Bush. Julian Coman reports from New Hampshire.

It was close to midnight on Friday when Gen Wesley Clark, wearing a thick woolly sweater, bounded into the Nuffield Ale and Steak House in Manchester.

The locals had long departed into a sub-zero New Hampshire evening. But Gen Clark had come in to see a different crowd. For the presidential candidate, some important allies had just come to town.

1. Holy cow

That last sentence was a zinger. Nine days... I may have to take valium to make it through.

Thanks for the post!

2. That comes as no surprise.....We all know that Clark is in this only

because the Clinton's put him there. I see other former Clinton insiders who are in the national media....they are in the same groove.

5. And if Clinton insiders

get him into office, then I have absolutely no problem with that. But then again, I think the Clinton administration did a pretty good job for eight years.

3. I wish I had been there :(

I'm one of those who thinks the Clinton surrogate thing is stretched. I don't really buy it. Clark's his own man, and if you look at any of the campaigns you'll find a similar cast of characters. They have to go someplace in an election year.

4. "Clinton's Proxy" The Leftwing Nuts Version Of "Clinton's Cock"

Clark is NOONES puppet or proxy.

6. A Final Impassioned Plea

A final, impassioned plea by Gen Clark brought the
house down. "I'm worried about our country. This is
a dangerous time. But force should never be used
as a first resort. It's time to bring an end to the
Republicans' monopoly on issues of national
security."

Dino Atsaris, an airline pilot, was a convert. "Can
you imagine any other Democrat talking like that and
being trusted by the majority of the country?" he
said. "Dean couldn't do it. What is important is that
we find a candidate who canactually beat George
Bush."

8. Amen

"It's time to bring an end to the Republicans' monopoly on issues of national security." Amen
