He's 'Working to Win' in N.H., Clark Says
<...>

After Clark called it a day to rest his throat, a reporter doubled back on Clark’s path down Main Street to ask the shopkeepers the candidate had visited if they were troubled that he had spoken highly of Bush in years past.

To a person, they said no. "After Sept. 11, everyone was ready to stand behind the president," said Alla Vatalaro, owner of the Narcissus II hair-design shop. "He was probably thinking the same way other Americans were thinking."

Similarly, Linda Timperino, who runs Beckonings, a gift shop, said: "As a military man, he should stand behind his commander in chief. I think he still has the military thinking in his heart."

Clark ran into one life-long Republican, Carlos Cernuda, 50, who said he was very interested in his candidacy and might support him. "He seems to me like his politics are more centrist than your traditional Democrats," said Cernuda, an airline pilot.

Cernuda said he is not voting for Bush again because his is unhappy with how "the Republican Party has been hijacked and taken to the right."

3. This is a somewhat bizarre political year...
Clark, who is pretty much a traditional liberal, is considered a moderate because of his military background. Dean, a more centrist/liberal, is considered a leftist because of his support for civil unions and early anti-war stance.

As a team, they would be damn near unbeatable, bringing home Reagan Democrats, disillusioned military families, southerners, anti-war Democrats, and even some greens. They're both articulate, they are telegenic and they're both obviously extremely intelligent.

This has so much potential...
