Clark gives Kerry the edge in political procedure ...

... but claims an advantage in foreign affairs.

Interesting article about Clark's hazing at Westpoint.

4. He has a hell of a lot more

experience than the squatter in the WH right now and his intelligence isn't even comparable to the shrubs mini mind. Consistency? When has he been inconsistent? Don't give that old story about saying he would have voted to go to war. That has been explained by him, many times. When has he been inconsistent? Political experience? Maybe not, but he's a fast learner and there's no doubt in my mind that the man is more than qualified to be President and he DOES have a lot of foreign relations experience....a HUGE plus. Loyalty? WHO has he been disloyal to? That's a new smear I haven't heard yet. Enlighten me. Please.

5. 34-year military career versus Kerry�s four years in Vietnam?

>

John Kerry:
18 Years on the Foreign Relation Committee.
8 Years as Chair of the Committee on Terrorism and International Relations.
Literally wrote the book on the subject.

6. Kerry and Clark are longtime friemds, and I expect

any differentiating is fair game they are fully aware of. The important thing to note is that Clark is aligning himself with almost all Kerry's policies. That is a GOOD thing and I doubt it is merely coincidence.

7. Both sides are differentiating...

without creating animosity. I like that because I think both candidates are the best the Democrats have to offer. I want a forward-thinking leader not a reactionary.

9. They both seem to share an even keel

and fairly liberal policies cloaked in moderate, intelligent language.

Thankfully not hot rhetoric and soundbites that are used to mask a centrist core.
