1. I'm watching.
Sorry, I don't see why people picked Kerry over Wes.

5. They saw him for 15 seconds on TV as a winner
He went from 7% to 29% after Iowa and then to 49% after NH. Obviously, the vast majority of that gain was a result of bandwagon jumpers, even the most diehard Kerry supporter has to concede that.

Supporter: "I wish you had campaigned in Iowa."
Clark: "I do too. Everything could have been different."

I got a little teary-eyed when I heard that because it is true. It is a shame that one state wields so much influence over the process.

19. Well, if
our candidate is chosen because of one 15-sec commercial in a small state, I guess we deserve another 4 years of the smirking, drunken, lying moron.

20. It wasn't the commericals
It was seeing him for 15 seconds on the news as a "winner". You are right. Part of me hopes Shrub wins so these people get what they deserve.

21. Please don't hope for that
I don't think I can survive it. And, you're right about the TV. Here is my prediction again: We will NEVER see another poll showing Kerry can beat Bush. UNLESS, another candidate seems to be gaining some momentum.

15. You didn't see him tearing up?
At the start when he was talking about his supporters, he was tearing up a bit, but fought it off. That's when I lost it the first time.

17. I couldn't stand by and watch as the rich were handed more tax cuts
.... so that's why I got in the race....

It was a call to duty, not a call to ambition...

"Give em hell and never retreat!"


I'll do everything I can to make sure George W. Bush does not get away with playing politics with National Security...

I believe that what we needed was to move forward in this country... an administration that would help protect America's security and protect our reputation in the world...

You've given me the greatest gift a person can ever receive- the support to make that fight a real fight.

I am going to fight on and I hope you'll join me...

So today, I end my campaign for the Presidency but our party's campaign is just beginning... This old soldier will not fade away...

Now I'm going to just change my uniform and get out in the field and work.... I'll be doing all I can to help build a new America... Together...


===

Very classy man.

:eyes: My sister is not listening to a word he's saying, just drooling over how handsome he is.

23. Folks, it's been at least 23 years...
Since I've been as proud to support a candidate for president as I am right now!

Let's face it; listening to his speech right now, doesn't he make you feel DAMN GOOD to have supported him? :D

And we look foward to "soldiering on" with him wherever he wants to go--and however he wants to participate.

Here's hoping we see him again REALLY soon--after a much-needed rest for him and Gert! And you know, a ticket or cabinet spot would be nice--are you listening, Sen. Kerry? :eyes:

He may not have won the presidency this year, but I think everyone here at DU who is proud to say they supported Wesley Kanne Clark for presidency can agree:

WES IS INDISPUTABLY THE BEST!!!:bounce:

Proud to have been--and still to be--a "Wes Clark Democrat"!!!:kick:

B-)
