We're going to have to go with Clark
Advertisements [?]
I've been thinking since this Saddam thing and am coming to the conclusion that the only Democrat that has a substantial chance of beating Bush now, and thats if the whole party jumps in behind him, is Wesley Clark. He's older, with gravitas, which frequently allows you not to be the darling of the media like Clinton was, and has more international experience than Bush - could never be called afraid of taking action when necessary etc.

Our standards - Kerry, Gephardt, Leiberman, et al are never going to live down that they voted for the war and have spent their time trying to back track for their base while looking strong for the general public, and they all just look stupid.

My favorite, Kucinich, and Sharpton don't have a chance in hell.

And our current front runner has been lambasting Bush about the war but if there's a backlash from Saddam's capture, he could become a loser to the general public, and besides, he has kind of a "mean" demeanor - he seems mostly negative everything and positive nothing.

I think Clark could take on Bush and win, unless their are skeletons we know nothing about. Any thoughts?
