Is there any question left as to why we need Clark?
Any other scenario, i.e. Dean, Kerry, Edwards and we get killed I'm afraid to say. With Clark we at least have a fighting chance. I'm glad Saddam is gone, but It's hard to look at this and not see the advantageous political potential for Bush. With CLark, he can at least talk about how he "brought Milosevic to justice" or whatever, and sort of counteract the Saddam thing. Ugh.

2. Today is a foreshadow of what's to come
This election will not be about domestic issues. I don't care how crappy the economy may or may not be.

This election is going to be about national security and foreign policy. Anyone who doesn't see that, isn't looking at the scheduling of the conventions. The last day of the Republican convention is scheduled to fall on September 11, 2004. This is no accident.

Whatever you see in the media today will be magnified 100 times through the lens of the documentaries and memorial pieces that merge with Bush's address at the end of the RNC convention, combined with his patriotism ads on tv.

Today is a only a foretaste of what's to come. If the dem nominee (not his VP) is not able to credible challenge Bush on national security and foreign policy for the role of Commander-in-Chief, we're in trouble.

3. This has been a good day for Clark and Kerry IMO.
Hopefully the primary voters are intelligent enough to see this. A Vermont governor is NOT going to win us this thing. And PLEEEEEASE stop comparing him to Clinton. So many different factors. Dean and Gore look like fucking idiots. Hope Clark's campaign starts to pick up.

7. Give it a rest, they want to think all is well that now Saddy is caught
which I think is funny because we've been saying the war was unnecessary.

So if the war was not unnecessary then Saddy's capture means nothing has changed.

10. No, all is not well.
That doesn't change the fact that the defining issue of this will be national security and foreign politics, and not domestic policy.

11. I am loathe to think how this will stir up Bush
The swaggering toad's rump will probably take Saddam's capture as a sign from God that he should expand the war.

6. Americans need more than just good military strategy
Clark is a decent guy, but I want to see things in America change. I don't like the direction this country is heading into, and I am not at all pleased with the overall leadership of the Dem party.

I get caught up in the moment. Sorry.

See I can admit my mistakes...

15. My head is out of my ass. I know he is the only chance we have to win
I'm not the one you have to convince. The supporters of the frontrunner haven't figured that out.

16. Yes
this doesn't change the race much, if anything it hurts Dean a little, but this timing is not fortuitous to Bush and it doesn't change the disaster of the war
